Nahum 1:2

Half-Acrostic: Yahweh Takes Vengeance Against His Enemies

¹ The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite, ² God is jealous, and the LORD avengeth; the LORD avengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. ³ The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
