Nahum 1:2

Half-Acrostic: Yahweh Takes Vengeance Against His Enemies

¹ An oracle about Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. ² The LORD is a jealous God and avenges. The LORD avenges and is full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on his adversaries, and he maintains wrath against his enemies. ³ The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. The LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
