1:1 The burden 4853 of Nineveh 5210. The book 5612 of the vision 2377 of Nahum 5151 the Elkoshite 512.

1:2 God 410 [is] jealous 7072, and the LORD 3068 revengeth 5358 8802; the LORD 3068 revengeth 5358 8802, and [is] furious 1167 2534; the LORD 3068 will take vengeance 5358 8802 on his adversaries 6862, and he reserveth 5201 8802 [wrath] for his enemies 341 8802.(God…: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc)(is furious: Heb. that hath fury)

1:3 The LORD 3068 [is] slow 750 to anger 639, and great 1419 in power 3581, and will not at all 5352 8763 acquit 5352 8762 [the wicked]: the LORD 3068 hath his way 1870 in the whirlwind 5492 and in the storm 8183, and the clouds 6051 [are] the dust 80 of his feet 7272.

1:4 He rebuketh 1605 8802 the sea 3220, and maketh it dry 2717 8689, and drieth up 3001 8762 all the rivers 5104: Bashan 1316 languisheth 535 8797, and Carmel 3760, and the flower 6525 of Lebanon 3844 languisheth 535 8797.

1:5 The mountains 2022 quake 7493 8804 at him, and the hills 1389 melt 4127 8712, and the earth 776 is burned 5375 8799 at his presence 6440, yea, the world 8398, and all that dwell 3427 8802 therein.

1:6 Who can stand 5975 8799 before 6440 his indignation 2195? and who can abide 6965 8799 in the fierceness 2740 of his anger 639? his fury 2534 is poured out 5413 8738 like fire 784, and the rocks 6697 are thrown down 5422 8738 by him.(abide: Heb. stand up)

1:7 The LORD 3068 [is] good 2896, a strong hold 4581 in the day 3117 of trouble 6869; and he knoweth 3045 8802 them that trust 2620 8802 in him.(strong hold: or, strength)

1:8 But with an overrunning 5674 8802 flood 7858 he will make 6213 8799 an utter end 3617 of the place 4725 thereof, and darkness 2822 shall pursue 7291 8762 his enemies 341 8802.

1:9 What do ye imagine 2803 8762 against the LORD 3068? he will make 6213 8802 an utter end 3617: affliction 6869 shall not rise up 6965 8799 the second time 6471.

1:10 For while [they be] folden together 5440 8803 [as] thorns 5518, and while they are drunken 5433 8803 [as] drunkards 5435, they shall be devoured 398 8795 as stubble 7179 fully 4392 dry 3002.

1:11 There is [one] come out 3318 8804 of thee, that imagineth 2803 8802 evil 7451 against the LORD 3068, a wicked 1100 counsellor 3289 8802.(a wicked…: Heb. a counsellor of Belial)

1:12 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068; Though [they be] quiet 8003, and likewise many 7227, yet thus shall they be cut down 1494 8738, when he shall pass through 5674 8804. Though I have afflicted 6031 8765 thee, I will afflict 6031 8762 thee no more.(Though…: or, If they would have been at peace, so should they have been many, and so should they have been shorn, and he should have passed away)(cut down: Heb. shorn)

1:13 For now will I break 7665 8799 his yoke 4132 from off thee, and will burst 5423 0 thy bonds 4147 in sunder 5423 8762.

1:14 And the LORD 3068 hath given a commandment 6680 8765 concerning thee, [that] no more of thy name 8034 be sown 2232 8735: out of the house 1004 of thy gods 430 will I cut off 3772 8686 the graven image 6459 and the molten image 4541: I will make 7760 8799 thy grave 6913; for thou art vile 7043 8804.

1:15 Behold upon the mountains 2022 the feet 7272 of him that bringeth good tidings 1319 8764, that publisheth 8085 8688 peace 7965! O Judah 3063, keep 2287 8798 thy solemn feasts 2282, perform 7999 8761 thy vows 5088: for the wicked 1100 shall no more 3254 8686 pass through 5674 8800 thee; he is utterly cut off 3772 8738.(keep…: Heb. feast)(the wicked: Heb. Belial)
