Nahum 1:2-8 - Half-Acrostic: Yahweh Takes Vengeance Against His Enemies
2 God is jealous and Jehovah avenging; Jehovah avenging and possessing wrath; Jehovah avenging to his adversaries and he keeping for his enemies. 3 Jehovah slow to anger and great of power, and Jehovah acquitting, will not acquit his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and a cloud the dust of his feet 4 Rebuking upon the sea, and he will dry it up, and all the rivers he laid waste, and Bashan languished, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languished. 5 The mountains shook from him, and the hills melted, and the earth will lift up from his face, and the habitable globe and all dwelling in it 6 Before the face of his wrath who shall stand? and who will rise up in the burning of his anger? his wrath was poured out as fire, and the rocks were torn down from him.
7 Jehovah is good for a fortress in the day of straits; and he knew those trusting in him. 8 With an inundation passing through he will make a completion of her place, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
