Nahum 1 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Yahweh’s Wrath Against Nineveh

1 The [fn]oracle ^H4853 of Nineveh ^H5210. The book ^H5612 of the vision ^H2377 of Nahum ^H5151 the Elkoshite ^H512.

Aleph

2 A jealous ^H7072 and avenging ^H5358 God ^H410 is [fn]Yahweh ^H3068;

Yahweh ^H3068 is avenging ^H5358 and [fn]wrathful ^H1167 H2534.

Yahweh ^H3068 is ^H5358 avenging ^H5358 against His adversaries ^H6862,

And He keeps ^H5201 His anger for His enemies ^H340.

3 Yahweh ^H3068 is slow ^H750 to anger ^H639 and great ^H1419 in power ^H3581,

And Yahweh ^H3068 will by ^H5352 no ^H3808 means ^H5352 leave ^H5352 the guilty unpunished ^H5352.

Beth

In whirlwind ^H5492 and storm ^H8183 is His way ^H1870,

And clouds ^H6051 are the dust ^H80 beneath His feet ^H7272.

Gimel

4 He rebukes ^H1605 the sea ^H3220 and makes ^H3001 it dry ^H3001;

He dries ^H2717 up ^H2717 all ^H3605 the rivers ^H5104.

Bashan ^H1316 and Carmel ^H3760 languish ^H535;

The blossoms ^H6525 of Lebanon ^H3844 languish ^H535.

He

5 Mountains ^H2022 quake ^H7493 because ^H4480 of Him,

Vav

And the hills ^H1389 melt ^H4127;

Indeed the earth ^H776 is upheaved ^H5375 by His presence ^H6440,

The world ^H8398 and all ^H3605 the inhabitants ^H3427 in it.

Zayin

6 Who ^H4310 can stand ^H5975 before ^H6440 His indignation ^H2195?

Who ^H4310 can endure ^H6965 the burning ^H2740 of His anger ^H639?

Heth

His wrath ^H2534 is poured ^H5413 out ^H5413 like fire ^H784,

And the rocks ^H6697 are torn ^H5422 down ^H5442 by Him.

Teth

7 Yahweh ^H3068 is good ^H2896,

A strong ^H4581 defense ^H4581 in the day ^H3117 of distress ^H6869,

Yodh

And He knows ^H3045 those who take ^H2620 refuge ^H2620 in Him.

8 But with an overflowing ^H5674 flood ^H7858

Kaph

He will make ^H6213 a complete ^H3617 destruction ^H3617 of [fn]its place ^H4725

And will pursue ^H7291 His enemies ^H340 into darkness ^H2822.

9 Whatever ^H4100 you devise ^H2803 against ^H413 Yahweh ^H3068,

He will make ^H6213 a complete ^H3617 destruction ^H3617 of it.

Distress ^H6869 will not rise ^H6965 up ^H6965 twice ^H6471.

10 Like ^H5704 tangled ^H5440 thorns ^H5518,

And like those who are drunken ^H5433 with their drink ^H5435,

They are consumed ^H398

As stubble ^H7179 fully ^H4392 dried ^H3002 up.

11 From you has gone ^H3318 forth ^H3318

One who devised ^H2803 evil ^H7451 against ^H5921 Yahweh ^H3068,

A [fn]vile ^H1100 counselor ^H3289.

12 Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“Though ^H518 they are at full ^H8003 strength and likewise ^H3651 many ^H7227,

Even so ^H3651, they will be cut ^H1494 off ^H1494 and pass ^H5674 away ^H5674.

Though I have afflicted ^H6031 you,

I will afflict ^H6031 you no ^H3808 longer ^H5750.

13 “So now ^H6258, I will break ^H7665 his yoke ^H4132 bar ^H4132 from upon you,

And I will break ^H5423 your bands ^H4147 apart ^H5423.”

14 And Yahweh ^H3068 has commanded ^H6680 concerning ^H5921 [fn]you:

“[fn]There will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 be seed ^H2232 from your name ^H8034.

From the house ^H1004 of your gods ^H430,

I will cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 graven ^H6459 image ^H6459 and molten ^H4541 image ^H4541.

I will prepare ^H7760 your grave ^H6913,

For you are ^H7043 contemptible ^H7043.”

15 [fn]Behold ^H2009, on the mountains ^H2022 the feet ^H7272 of him who proclaims ^H1319 good ^H1319 news ^H1319,

Who [fn]announces ^H8085 peace ^H7965!

Celebrate ^H2287 your feasts ^H2282, O Judah ^H3063;

Pay ^H7999 your vows ^H5088.

For never ^H3808 H5750 again ^H3254 will the [fn]vile ^H1100 one pass ^H5674 through you;

He is cut ^H3772 off ^H3772 completely ^H3605.
