1 This is a revelation from the Lord about Nineveh. This book contains the vision of Nahum from Elkosh.
2 God does not tolerate rivals. The Lord takes revenge.The Lord takes revenge and is full of anger.The Lord takes revenge against his enemiesand holds a grudge against his foes.
3 The Lord is patient and has great strength.The Lord will never let the guilty go unpunished.Raging winds and storms mark his path,and clouds are the dust from his feet.
4 He yells at the sea and makes it dry.He dries up all the rivers.Bashan and Carmel wither.The flowers of Lebanon wither.
