Nahum 1:2

Half-Acrostic: Yahweh Takes Vengeance Against His Enemies

¹ The oracle, on Nineveh, - the scroll of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite. ² A GOD jealous and avenging, is Yahweh, an avenger, is Yahweh, and a lord of wrath, an avenger, is Yahweh towards his adversaries, and, a retainer of anger , is he to his foes. ³ Yahweh, is slow to anger, but great in vigour, He will not leave, unpunished, as for Yahweh, in storm-wind and in tempest, is his way, and, clouds, are the dust of his feet.
