[Nahum 1]
1:1C The burden4853 of Nineveh.5210 The book5612 of the vision2377 of Nahum5151 the Elkoshite.
1:2C God410 [is] jealous,7072 and the LORD3068 revengeth;5358 the LORD3068 revengeth,5358 and [is] furious;11672534 the LORD3068 will take vengeance5358 on his adversaries,6862 and he reserveth5201 [wrath] for his enemies.
1:3C The LORD3068 [is] slow750 to anger,639 and great1419 in power,3581 and will not at all5352 acquit5352 [the wicked]: the LORD3068 hath his way1870 in the whirlwind5492 and in the storm,8183 and the clouds6051 [are] the dust80 of his feet.
1:4 He rebuketh1605 the sea,3220 and maketh it dry,2717 and drieth up3001 all the rivers:5104 Bashan1316 languisheth,535 and Carmel,3760 and the flower6525 of Lebanon3844 languisheth.
1:5C The mountains2022 quake7493 at him, and the hills1389 melt,4127 and the earth776 is burned5375 at his presence,6440 yea, the world,8398 and all that dwell
1:6C Who can stand5975 before6440 his indignation?2195 and who can abide6965 in the fierceness2740 of his anger?639 his fury2534 is poured out5413 like fire,784 and the rocks6697 are thrown down
1:7C The LORD3068 [is] good,2896 a strong hold4581 in the day3117 of trouble;6869 and he knoweth3045 them that trust
1:8C But with an overrunning5674 flood7858 he will make6213 an utter end3617 of the place4725 thereof, and darkness2822 shall pursue7291 his enemies.
1:9C What do ye imagine2803 against the LORD?3068 he will make6213 an utter end:3617 affliction6869 shall not rise up6965 the second time.
1:10C For while [they be] folden together5440 [as] thorns,5518 and while they are drunken5433 [as] drunkards,5435 they shall be devoured398 as stubble7179 fully4392 dry.
1:11 There is [one] come out3318 of thee, that imagineth2803 evil7451 against the LORD,3068 a wicked1100 counsellor.
1:12 Thus saith559 the LORD;3068 Though [they be] quiet,8003 and likewise many,7227 yet thus shall they be cut down,1494 when he shall pass through.5674 Though I have afflicted6031 thee, I will afflict
1:13 For now will I break7665 his yoke4132 from off thee, and will burst5423 thy bonds4147 in sunder.
1:14 And the LORD3068 hath given a commandment6680 concerning thee, [that] no more of thy name8034 be sown:2232 out of the house1004 of thy gods430 will I cut off3772 the graven image6459 and the molten image:4541 I will make7760 thy grave;6913 for thou art vile.
1:15C Behold upon the mountains2022 the feet7272 of him that bringeth good tidings,1319 that publisheth8085 peace!7965 O Judah,3063 keep2287 thy solemn feasts,2282 perform7999 thy vows:5088 for the wicked1100 shall no more3254 pass through5674 thee; he is utterly cut off.
[Nahum 2]
2:1 He that dasheth in pieces6327 is come up5927 before thy face:6440 keep5341 the munition,4694 watch6822 the way,1870 make [thy] loins4975 strong,2388 fortify553 [thy] power3581 mightily.
2:2 For the LORD3068 hath turned away7725 the excellency1347 of Jacob,3290 as the excellency1347 of Israel:3478 for the emptiers1238 have emptied them out,1238 and marred7843 their vine branches.
2:3C The shield4043 of his mighty men1368 is made red,119 the valiant2428 men582 [are] in scarlet:8529 the chariots7393 [shall be] with flaming784 torches6393 in the day3117 of his preparation,3559 and the fir trees1265 shall be terribly shaken.
2:4C The chariots7393 shall rage1984 in the streets,2351 they shall justle one against another8264 in the broad ways:7339 they shall seem4758 like torches,3940 they shall run7323 like the lightnings.
2:5 He shall recount2142 his worthies:117 they shall stumble3782 in their walk;1979 they shall make haste4116 to the wall2346 thereof, and the defence5526 shall be prepared.
2:6 The gates8179 of the rivers5104 shall be opened,6605 and the palace1964 shall be dissolved.
2:7 And Huzzab5324 shall be led away captive,1540 she shall be brought up,5927 and her maids519 shall lead5090 [her] as with the voice6963 of doves,3123 tabering8608 upon their breasts.
2:8 But Nineveh5210 [is] of old3117 like a pool1295 of water:4325 yet they shall flee away.5127 Stand,5975 stand,5975 [shall they cry]; but none shall look back.
2:9 Take ye the spoil962 of silver,3701 take the spoil962 of gold:2091 for [there is] none end7097 of the store8498 [and] glory3519 out of all the pleasant2532 furniture.
2:10 She is empty,950 and void,4003 and waste:1110 and the heart3820 melteth,4549 and the knees1290 smite together,6375 and much pain2479 [is] in all loins,4975 and the faces6440 of them all gather6908 blackness.
2:11 Where [is] the dwelling4583 of the lions,738 and the feedingplace4829 of the young lions,3715 where the lion,738 [even] the old lion,3833 walked,1980 [and] the lion's738 whelp,1482 and none made [them] afraid?
2:12 The lion738 did tear in pieces2963 enough1767 for his whelps,1484 and strangled2614 for his lionesses,3833 and filled4390 his holes2356 with prey,2964 and his dens4585 with ravin.
2:13 Behold, I [am] against thee, saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts,6635 and I will burn1197 her chariots7393 in the smoke,6227 and the sword2719 shall devour398 thy young lions:3715 and I will cut off3772 thy prey2964 from the earth,776 and the voice6963 of thy messengers4397 shall no more be heard.
[Nahum 3]
3:1 Woe1945 to the bloody1818 city!5892 it [is] all full4392 of lies3585 [and] robbery;6563 the prey2964 departeth
3:2 The noise6963 of a whip,7752 and the noise6963 of the rattling7494 of the wheels,212 and of the pransing1725 horses,5483 and of the jumping7540 chariots.
3:3 The horseman6571 lifteth up5927 both the bright3851 sword2719 and the glittering1300 spear:2595 and [there is] a multitude7230 of slain,2491 and a great3514 number of carcases;6297 and [there is] none end7097 of [their] corpses;1472 they stumble37823782 upon their corpses:
3:4 Because of the multitude7230 of the whoredoms2183 of the wellfavoured28962580 harlot,2181 the mistress1172 of witchcrafts,3785 that selleth4376 nations1471 through her whoredoms,2183 and families4940 through her witchcrafts.
3:5 Behold, I [am] against thee, saith5002 the LORD3068 of hosts;6635 and I will discover1540 thy skirts7757 upon thy face,6440 and I will shew7200 the nations1471 thy nakedness,4626 and the kingdoms4467 thy shame.
3:6 And I will cast7993 abominable filth8251 upon thee, and make thee vile,5034 and will set7760 thee as a gazingstock.
3:7 And it shall come to pass, [that] all they that look7200 upon thee shall flee5074 from thee, and say,559 Nineveh5210 is laid waste:7703 who will bemoan5110 her? whence370 shall I seek1245 comforters
3:8 Art thou better3190 than populous527528 No,4996 that was situate3427 among the rivers,2975 [that had] the waters4325 round about5439 it, whose rampart2426 [was] the sea,3220 [and] her wall2346 [was] from the sea?
3:9 Ethiopia3568 and Egypt4714 [were] her strength,6109 and [it was] infinite;3697097 Put6316 and Lubim3864 were thy helpers.
3:10 Yet [was] she carried away,1473 she went1980 into captivity:7628 her young children5768 also were dashed in pieces7376 at the top7218 of all the streets:2351 and they cast3032 lots1486 for her honourable men,3513 and all her great men1419 were bound7576 in chains.
3:11 Thou also shalt be drunken:7937 thou shalt be hid,5956 thou also shalt seek1245 strength4581 because of the enemy.
3:12 All thy strong holds4013 [shall be like] fig trees8384 with the firstripe figs:1061 if they be shaken,5128 they shall even fall5307 into the mouth6310 of the eater.
3:13 Behold, thy people5971 in the midst7130 of thee [are] women:802 the gates8179 of thy land776 shall be set wide6605 open6605 unto thine enemies:341 the fire784 shall devour398 thy bars.
3:14 Draw7579 thee waters4325 for the siege,4692 fortify2388 thy strong holds:4013 go935 into clay,2916 and tread7429 the morter,2563 make strong2388 the brickkiln.
3:15 There shall the fire784 devour398 thee; the sword2719 shall cut thee off,3772 it shall eat thee up398 like the cankerworm:3218 make thyself many3513 as the cankerworm,3218 make thyself many3513 as the locusts.
3:16 Thou hast multiplied7235 thy merchants7402 above the stars3556 of heaven:8064 the cankerworm3218 spoileth,6584 and flieth away.
3:17 Thy crowned4502 [are] as the locusts,697 and thy captains2951 as the great grasshoppers,1462 which camp2583 in the hedges1448 in the cold7135 day,3117 [but] when the sun8121 ariseth2224 they flee away,5074 and their place4725 is not known3045 where
3:18 Thy shepherds7462 slumber,5123 O king4428 of Assyria:804 thy nobles117 shall dwell7931 [in the dust]: thy people5971 is scattered6335 upon the mountains,2022 and no man gathereth
3:19 [There is] no healing3545 of thy bruise;7667 thy wound4347 is grievous:2470 all that hear8085 the bruit8088 of thee shall clap8628 the hands3709 over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness7451 passed5674 continually?
