The Bible, King James version, Book 34: Nahum

      Book 34 Nahum

      34:001:001 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

      34:001:002 God is jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.

      34:001:003 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.

      34:001:004 He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

      34:001:005 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

      34:001:006 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

      34:001:007 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

      34:001:008 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

      34:001:009 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

      34:001:010 For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

      34:001:011 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.

      34:001:012 Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

      34:001:013 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
