Nahum 1:2

Half-Acrostic: Yahweh Takes Vengeance Against His Enemies

¹ Burden of Nineveh. The Book of the Vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. ² A God zealous and avenging is Jehovah, An avenger is Jehovah, and possessing fury. An avenger is Jehovah on His adversaries, And He is watching for His enemies. ³ Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power, And Jehovah doth not entirely acquit, In a hurricane and in a tempest is His way, And a cloud is the dust of His feet.

God is the Lord

Jealous God

Full Of Wrath
