The book of the vision of + Nahum the Elkoshite. +001:002 Yahweh is a jealous God and avenges. Yahweh avenges and is + full of wrath. Yahweh takes vengeance on his adversaries, + and he maintains wrath against his enemies. +001:003 Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no + means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in + the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust + of his feet. +001:004 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. + Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes. +001:005 The mountains quake before him, and the hills melt away. + The earth trembles at his presence, yes, the world, and all + who dwell in it. +001:006 Who can stand before his indignation? Who can endure the + fierceness of his anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, + and the rocks are broken apart by him. +001:007 Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; + and he knows those who take refuge in him. +001:008 But with an overflowing flood, he will make a full end of her place, + and will pursue his enemies into darkness. +001:009 What do you plot against Yahweh? He will make a full end. + Affliction won't rise up the second time. +001:010 For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, + they are consumed utterly like dry stubble. +001:011 There is one gone forth out of you, who devises evil against Yahweh, + who counsels wickedness. +001:012 Thus says Yahweh: "Though they be in full strength, and likewise + many, even so they will be cut down, and he shall pass away. + Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more. +001:013 Now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst + your bonds apart." +001:014 Yahweh has commanded concerning you: "No more descendants + will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, + will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. + I will make your grave, for you are vile." +001:015 Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, + who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, + for the wicked one will no more pass through you. + He is utterly cut off. +002:001 He who dashes in pieces has come up against you. + Keep the fortress! Watch the way! Strengthen your waist! + Fortify your power mightily! +002:002 For Yahweh restores the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency + of Israel; for the destroyers have destroyed them, and ruined + their vine branches. +002:003 The shield of his mighty men is made red. The valiant men + are in scarlet. The chariots flash with steel in the day + of his preparation, and the pine spears are brandished. +002:004 The chariots rage in the streets. They rush back and forth + in the broad ways. Their appearance is like torches. + They run like the lightnings. +002:005 He summons his picked troops. They stumble on their way. + They dash to its wall, and the protective shield is put in place. +002:006 The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved. +002:007 It is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; + and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, + beating on their breasts. +002:008 But Nineveh has been from of old like a pool of water, yet they + flee away. "Stop! Stop!" they cry, but no one looks back. +002:009 Take the spoil of silver. Take the spoil of gold, for there + is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture. +002:010 She is empty, void, and waste. The heart melts, the knees + knock together, their bodies and faces have grown pale. +002:011 Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding place + of the young lions, where the lion and the lioness walked, + the lion's cubs, and no one made them afraid? +002:012 The lion tore in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangled + for his lionesses, and filled his caves with the kill, + and his dens with prey. +002:013 "Behold, I am against you," says Yahweh of Armies, "and I + will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword will devour + your young lions; and I will cut off your prey from the earth, + and the voice of your messengers will no longer be heard." +003:001 Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery. + The prey doesn't depart. +003:002 The noise of the whip, the noise of the rattling of wheels, + prancing horses, and bounding chariots, +003:003 the horseman mounting, and the flashing sword, the glittering spear, + and a multitude of slain, and a great heap of corpses, + and there is no end of the bodies. They stumble on their bodies, +003:004 because of the multitude of the prostitution of the alluring + prostitute, the mistress of witchcraft, who sells nations + through her prostitution, and families through her witchcraft. +003:005 "Behold, I am against you," says Yahweh of Armies, "and I + will lift your skirts over your face. I will show the nations + your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame. +003:006 I will throw abominable filth on you, and make you vile, + and will set you a spectacle. +003:007 It will happen that all those who look at you will flee from you, + and say, 'Nineveh is laid waste! Who will mourn for her?' + Where will I seek comforters for you?" +003:008 Are you better than No-Amon,{or, Thebes} who was situated among + the rivers, who had the waters around her; whose rampart + was the sea, and her wall was of the sea? +003:009 Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength. Put and Libya + were her helpers. +003:010 Yet was she carried away. She went into captivity. + Her young children also were dashed in pieces at the head + of all the streets, and they cast lots for her honorable men, + and all her great men were bound in chains. +003:011 You also will be drunken. You will be hidden. You also will + seek a stronghold because of the enemy. +003:012 All your fortresses will be like fig trees with the first-ripe figs: + if they are shaken, they fall into the mouth of the eater. +003:013 Behold, your troops in your midst are women. + The gates of your land are set wide open to your enemies. + The fire has devoured your bars. +003:014 Draw water for the siege. Strengthen your fortresses. + Go into the clay, and tread the mortar. Make the brick kiln strong. +003:015 There the fire will devour you. The sword will cut you off. It will + devour you like the grasshopper. Multiply like grasshoppers. + Multiply like the locust. +003:016 You have increased your merchants more than the stars of the skies. + The grasshopper strips, and flees away. +003:017 Your guards are like the locusts, and your officials like + the swarms of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day, + but when the sun appears, they flee away, and their place + is not known where they are. +003:018 Your shepherds slumber, king of Assyria. Your nobles lie down. + Your people are scattered on the mountains, and there is no + one to gather them. +003:019 There is no healing your wound, for your injury is fatal. + All who hear the report of you clap their hands over you; + for who hasn't felt your endless cruelty? + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE WORLD ENGLISH BIBLE (WEB): NAHUM *** + +This file should be named 8261.txt or 8261.zip + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
