Contents
1 The burden =
of
Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 God is jeal=
ous,
and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and is furious; the LORD will t=
ake
vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
3 The LORD is=
slow
to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the LO=
RD
hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust=
of
his feet.
4 He rebuketh=
the
sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, a=
nd
Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.
5 The mountai=
ns
quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, =
yea,
the world, and all that dwell therein.
6 Who can sta=
nd
before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? h=
is
fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.
7 The LORD is=
good,
a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.=
8 But with an
overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkn=
ess
shall pursue his enemies.
9 What do ye
imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not r=
ise
up the second time.
10 For while they be folden
=
together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be
devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 There is one come out of
thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.
12 Thus saith the LORD; Th=
ough
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 mo=
re.
13 For now will I break hi=
s yoke
from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14 And the LORD hath given=
a
commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the h=
ouse
of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will ma=
ke
thy grave; for thou art vile.
15 Behold upon the mountai=
ns the
feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep
thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass thro=
ugh
thee; he is utterly cut off.
1 He that das=
heth
in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch the way, make
thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.
2 For the LOR=
D hath
turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the
emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
3 The shield =
of his
mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall =
be
with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall=
be
terribly shaken.
4 The chariots
shall rage in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the bro=
ad
ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightnings.
5 He shall re=
count
his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the
wall thereof, and the defence shall be prepared.
6 The gates o=
f the
rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
7 And Huzzab =
shall
be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her =
as
with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts.
8 But Nineveh=
is of
old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they
cry; but none shall look back.
9 Take ye the=
spoil
of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and g=
lory
out of all the pleasant furniture.
10 She is empty, and void,=
and
waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and much pain i=
s in
all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
11 Where is the dwelling o=
f the
lions, and the feedingplace of the young lions, where the lion, even the ol=
d lion,
walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid?
12 The lion did tear in pi=
eces
enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes
with prey, and his dens with ravin.
13 Behold, I am against th=
ee,
saith the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the
sword shall devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the ea=
rth,
and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.
1 Woe to the =
bloody
city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth not;
2 The noise o=
f a
whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the pransing hors=
es,
and of the jumping chariots.
3 The horseman
lifteth up both the bright sword and the glittering spear: and there is a m=
ultitude
of slain, and a great number of carcases; and there is none end of their
corpses; they stumble upon their corpses:
4 Because of =
the
multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of
witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families throu=
gh
her witchcrafts.
5 Behold, I am
against thee, saith the LORD of hosts; and I will discover thy skirts upon =
thy
face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy shame=
.
6 And I will =
cast
abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set thee as a
gazingstock.
7 And it shal=
l come
to pass, that all they that look upon thee shall flee from thee, and say,
Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I seek comforters =
for
thee?
8 Art thou be=
tter
than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, that had the waters ro=
und
about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall was from the sea?
9 Ethiopia and
Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helper=
s.
10 Yet was she carried awa=
y, she
went into captivity: her young children also were dashed in pieces at the t=
op
of all the streets: and they cast lots for her honourable men, and all her
great men were bound in chains.
11 Thou also shalt be drun=
ken:
thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy.
12 All thy strong holds sh=
all be
like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they shall even =
fall
into the mouth of the eater.
13 Behold, thy people in t=
he
midst of thee are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto
thine enemies: the fire shall devour thy bars.
14 Draw thee waters for the
siege, fortify thy strong holds: go into clay, and tread the morter, make
strong the brickkiln.
15 There shall the fire de=
vour
thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerwor=
m:
make thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts.
16 Thou hast multiplied thy
merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth aw=
ay.
17 Thy crowned are as the
locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers, which camp in the hedg=
es
in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and their place is
not known where they are.
18 Thy shepherds slumber, =
O king
of Assyria: thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon
the mountains, and no man gathereth them.
19 There is no healing of = thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap t= he hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?<= o:p>
