Nahum 1:2

Half-Acrostic: Yahweh Takes Vengeance Against His Enemies

¹ The oracle concerning Nineveh-- the scroll of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite: ² Yahweh is a jealous God and avenging; Yahweh is avenging and {full of wrath}. Yahweh takes vengeance against his enemies; he rages against his adversaries. ³ Yahweh is slow to anger but great [in] power; he will certainly not allow [the guilty] to go unpunished. {He marches} in storm wind and in gale; storm clouds [are the] dust of his feet.
