Nahum 1:1--3:19

The burden
<04853>
of Nineveh
<05210>_.
The book
<05612>
of the vision
<02377>
of Nahum
<05151>
the Elkoshite
<0512>_.
God
<0410>
[is] jealous
<07072>_,
and the LORD
<03068>
revengeth
<05358> (8802)_;
the LORD
<03068>
revengeth
<05358> (8802)_,
and [is] furious
<01167> <02534>_;
the LORD
<03068>
will take vengeance
<05358> (8802)
on his adversaries
<06862>_,
and he reserveth
<05201> (8802)
[wrath] for his enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
{God...: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc} {is furious: Heb. that hath fury}
The LORD
<03068>
[is] slow
<0750>
to anger
<0639>_,
and great
<01419>
in power
<03581>_,
and will not at all
<05352> (8763)
acquit
<05352> (8762)
[the wicked]: the LORD
<03068>
hath his way
<01870>
in the whirlwind
<05492>
and in the storm
<08183>_,
and the clouds
<06051>
[are] the dust
<080>
of his feet
<07272>_.
He rebuketh
<01605> (8802)
the sea
<03220>_,
and maketh it dry
<02717> (8689)_,
and drieth up
<03001> (8762)
all the rivers
<05104>_:
Bashan
<01316>
languisheth
<0535> (8797)_,
and Carmel
<03760>_,
and the flower
<06525>
of Lebanon
<03844>
languisheth
<0535> (8797)_.
The mountains
<02022>
quake
<07493> (8804)
at him, and the hills
<01389>
melt
<04127> (8712)_,
and the earth
<0776>
is burned
<05375> (8799)
at his presence
<06440>_,
yea, the world
<08398>_,
and all that dwell
<03427> (8802)
therein.
Who can stand
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
his indignation
<02195>_?
and who can abide
<06965> (8799)
in the fierceness
<02740>
of his anger
<0639>_?
his fury
<02534>
is poured out
<05413> (8738)
like fire
<0784>_,
and the rocks
<06697>
are thrown down
<05422> (8738)
by him. {abide: Heb. stand up}
The LORD
<03068>
[is] good
<02896>_,
a strong hold
<04581>
in the day
<03117>
of trouble
<06869>_;
and he knoweth
<03045> (8802)
them that trust
<02620> (8802)
in him. {strong hold: or, strength}
But with an overrunning
<05674> (8802)
flood
<07858>
he will make
<06213> (8799)
an utter end
<03617>
of the place
<04725>
thereof, and darkness
<02822>
shall pursue
<07291> (8762)
his enemies
<0341> (8802)_.
What do ye imagine
<02803> (8762)
against the LORD
<03068>_?
he will make
<06213> (8802)
an utter end
<03617>_:
affliction
<06869>
shall not rise up
<06965> (8799)
the second time
<06471>_.
For while [they be] folden together
<05440> (8803)
[as] thorns
<05518>_,
and while they are drunken
<05433> (8803)
[as] drunkards
<05435>_,
they shall be devoured
<0398> (8795)
as stubble
<07179>
fully
<04392>
dry
<03002>_.
There is [one] come out
<03318> (8804)
of thee, that imagineth
<02803> (8802)
evil
<07451>
against the LORD
<03068>_,
a wicked
<01100>
counsellor
<03289> (8802)_.
{a wicked...: Heb. a counsellor of Belial}
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_;
Though [they be] quiet
<08003>_,
and likewise many
<07227>_,
yet thus shall they be cut down
<01494> (8738)_,
when he shall pass through
<05674> (8804)_.
Though I have afflicted
<06031> (8765)
thee, I will afflict
<06031> (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}
For now will I break
<07665> (8799)
his yoke
<04132>
from off thee, and will burst
<05423> (0)
thy bonds
<04147>
in sunder
<05423> (8762)_.
And the LORD
<03068>
hath given a commandment
<06680> (8765)
concerning thee, [that] no more of thy name
<08034>
be sown
<02232> (8735)_:
out of the house
<01004>
of thy gods
<0430>
will I cut off
<03772> (8686)
the graven image
<06459>
and the molten image
<04541>_:
I will make
<07760> (8799)
thy grave
<06913>_;
for thou art vile
<07043> (8804)_.
Behold upon the mountains
<02022>
the feet
<07272>
of him that bringeth good tidings
<01319> (8764)_,
that publisheth
<08085> (8688)
peace
<07965>_!
O Judah
<03063>_,
keep
<02287> (8798)
thy solemn feasts
<02282>_,
perform
<07999> (8761)
thy vows
<05088>_:
for the wicked
<01100>
shall no more
<03254> (8686)
pass through
<05674> (8800)
thee; he is utterly cut off
<03772> (8738)_.
{keep...: Heb. feast} {the wicked: Heb. Belial}
He that dasheth in pieces
<06327> (8688)
is come up
<05927> (8804)
before thy face
<06440>_:
keep
<05341> (8800)
the munition
<04694>_,
watch
<06822> (8761)
the way
<01870>_,
make [thy] loins
<04975>
strong
<02388> (8761)_,
fortify
<0553> (8761)
[thy] power
<03581>
mightily
<03966>_.
{He...: or, The disperser, or, hammer}
For the LORD
<03068>
hath turned away
<07725> (8804)
the excellency
<01347>
of Jacob
<03290>_,
as the excellency
<01347>
of Israel
<03478>_:
for the emptiers
<01238> (8802)
have emptied them out
<01238> (8804)_,
and marred
<07843> (8765)
their vine branches
<02156>_.
{the excellency of Jacob...: or, the pride of Jacob as the pride, etc}
The shield
<04043>
of his mighty men
<01368>
is made red
<0119> (8794)_,
the valiant
<02428>
men
<0582>
[are] in scarlet
<08529> (8794)_:
the chariots
<07393>
[shall be] with flaming
<0784>
torches
<06393>
in the day
<03117>
of his preparation
<03559> (8687)_,
and the fir trees
<01265>
shall be terribly shaken
<07477> (8717)_.
{in scarlet: or, dyed scarlet} {flaming: or, fiery}
The chariots
<07393>
shall rage
<01984> (8704)
in the streets
<02351>_,
they shall justle one against another
<08264> (8698)
in the broad ways
<07339>_:
they shall seem
<04758>
like torches
<03940>_,
they shall run
<07323> (8787)
like the lightnings
<01300>_.
{they: Heb. their show}
He shall recount
<02142> (8799)
his worthies
<0117>_:
they shall stumble
<03782> (8735)
in their walk
<01979>_;
they shall make haste
<04116> (8762)
to the wall
<02346>
thereof, and the defence
<05526> (8802)
shall be prepared
<03559> (8717)_.
{worthies: or, gallants} {defence: Heb. covering, or, coverer}
The gates
<08179>
of the rivers
<05104>
shall be opened
<06605> (8738)_,
and the palace
<01964>
shall be dissolved
<04127> (8738)_.
{dissolved: or, molten}
And Huzzab
<05324> (8717)
shall be led away captive
<01540> (8795)_,
she shall be brought up
<05927> (8717)_,
and her maids
<0519>
shall lead
<05090> (8764)
[her] as with the voice
<06963>
of doves
<03123>_,
tabering
<08608> (8781)
upon their breasts
<03824>_.
{Huzzab: or, that which was established, or, there was a stand made} {led...: or, discovered}
But Nineveh
<05210>
[is] of old
<03117>
like a pool
<01295>
of water
<04325>_:
yet they shall flee away
<05127> (8801)_.
Stand
<05975> (8798)_,
stand
<05975> (8798)_,
[shall they cry]; but none shall look back
<06437> (8688)_.
{of old: or, from the days that she hath been} {look back: or, cause them to turn}
Take ye the spoil
<0962> (8798)
of silver
<03701>_,
take the spoil
<0962> (8798)
of gold
<02091>_:
for [there is] none end
<07097>
of the store
<08498>
[and] glory
<03519>
out of all the pleasant
<02532>
furniture
<03627>_.
{for...: or, and their infinite store, etc} {pleasant...: Heb. vessels of desire}
She is empty
<0950>_,
and void
<04003>_,
and waste
<01110> (8794)_:
and the heart
<03820>
melteth
<04549> (8738)_,
and the knees
<01290>
smite together
<06375>_,
and much pain
<02479>
[is] in all loins
<04975>_,
and the faces
<06440>
of them all gather
<06908> (8765)
blackness
<06289>_.
Where [is] the dwelling
<04583>
of the lions
<0738>_,
and the feedingplace
<04829>
of the young lions
<03715>_,
where the lion
<0738>_,
[even] the old lion
<03833>_,
walked
<01980> (8804)_,
[and] the lion's
<0738>
whelp
<01482>_,
and none made [them] afraid
<02729> (8688)_?
The lion
<0738>
did tear in pieces
<02963> (8802)
enough
<01767>
for his whelps
<01484>_,
and strangled
<02614> (8764)
for his lionesses
<03833>_,
and filled
<04390> (8762)
his holes
<02356>
with prey
<02964>_,
and his dens
<04585>
with ravin
<02966>_.
Behold, I [am] against thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_,
and I will burn
<01197> (8689)
her chariots
<07393>
in the smoke
<06227>_,
and the sword
<02719>
shall devour
<0398> (8799)
thy young lions
<03715>_:
and I will cut off
<03772> (8689)
thy prey
<02964>
from the earth
<0776>_,
and the voice
<06963>
of thy messengers
<04397>
shall no more be heard
<08085> (8735)_.
Woe
<01945>
to the bloody
<01818>
city
<05892>_!
it [is] all full
<04392>
of lies
<03585>
[and] robbery
<06563>_;
the prey
<02964>
departeth
<04185> (8686)
not; {bloody...: Heb. city of bloods}
The noise
<06963>
of a whip
<07752>_,
and the noise
<06963>
of the rattling
<07494>
of the wheels
<0212>_,
and of the pransing
<01725> (8802)
horses
<05483>_,
and of the jumping
<07540> (8764)
chariots
<04818>_.
The horseman
<06571>
lifteth up
<05927> (8688)
both the bright
<03851>
sword
<02719>
and the glittering
<01300>
spear
<02595>_:
and [there is] a multitude
<07230>
of slain
<02491>_,
and a great
<03514>
number of carcases
<06297>_;
and [there is] none end
<07097>
of [their] corpses
<01472>_;
they stumble
<03782> (8804) (8675) <03782> (8735)
upon their corpses
<01472>_:
{the bright...: Heb. the flame of the sword, and the lightning of the spear}
Because of the multitude
<07230>
of the whoredoms
<02183>
of the wellfavoured
<02896> <02580>
harlot
<02181> (8802)_,
the mistress
<01172>
of witchcrafts
<03785>_,
that selleth
<04376> (8802)
nations
<01471>
through her whoredoms
<02183>_,
and families
<04940>
through her witchcrafts
<03785>_.
Behold, I [am] against thee, saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>
of hosts
<06635>_;
and I will discover
<01540> (8765)
thy skirts
<07757>
upon thy face
<06440>_,
and I will shew
<07200> (8689)
the nations
<01471>
thy nakedness
<04626>_,
and the kingdoms
<04467>
thy shame
<07036>_.
And I will cast
<07993> (8689)
abominable filth
<08251>
upon thee, and make thee vile
<05034> (8765)_,
and will set
<07760> (8804)
thee as a gazingstock
<07210>_.
And it shall come to pass, [that] all they that look
<07200> (8802)
upon thee shall flee
<05074> (8799)
from thee, and say
<0559> (8804)_,
Nineveh
<05210>
is laid waste
<07703> (8795)_:
who will bemoan
<05110> (8799)
her? whence
<0370>
shall I seek
<01245> (8762)
comforters
<05162> (8764)
for thee?
Art thou better
<03190> (8686)
than populous
<0527> (8675) <0528>
No
<04996>_,
that was situate
<03427> (8802)
among the rivers
<02975>_,
[that had] the waters
<04325>
round about
<05439>
it, whose rampart
<02426>
[was] the sea
<03220>_,
[and] her wall
<02346>
[was] from the sea
<03220>_?
{populous...: or, nourishing, etc: Heb. No Amon}
Ethiopia
<03568>
and Egypt
<04714>
[were] her strength
<06109>_,
and [it was] infinite
<0369> <07097>_;
Put
<06316>
and Lubim
<03864>
were thy helpers
<05833>_.
{thy helpers: Heb. in thy help}
Yet [was] she carried away
<01473>_,
she went
<01980> (8804)
into captivity
<07628>_:
her young children
<05768>
also were dashed in pieces
<07376> (8792)
at the top
<07218>
of all the streets
<02351>_:
and they cast
<03032> (8804)
lots
<01486>
for her honourable men
<03513> (8737)_,
and all her great men
<01419>
were bound
<07576> (8795)
in chains
<02131>_.
Thou also shalt be drunken
<07937> (8799)_:
thou shalt be hid
<05956> (8737)_,
thou also shalt seek
<01245> (8762)
strength
<04581>
because of the enemy
<0341> (8802)_.
All thy strong holds
<04013>
[shall be like] fig trees
<08384>
with the firstripe figs
<01061>_:
if they be shaken
<05128> (8735)_,
they shall even fall
<05307> (8804)
into the mouth
<06310>
of the eater
<0398> (8802)_.
Behold, thy people
<05971>
in the midst
<07130>
of thee [are] women
<0802>_:
the gates
<08179>
of thy land
<0776>
shall be set wide
<06605> (8800)
open
<06605> (8738)
unto thine enemies
<0341> (8802)_:
the fire
<0784>
shall devour
<0398> (8804)
thy bars
<01280>_.
Draw
<07579> (8798)
thee waters
<04325>
for the siege
<04692>_,
fortify
<02388> (8761)
thy strong holds
<04013>_:
go
<0935> (8798)
into clay
<02916>_,
and tread
<07429> (8798)
the morter
<02563>_,
make strong
<02388> (8685)
the brickkiln
<04404>_.
There shall the fire
<0784>
devour
<0398> (8799)
thee; the sword
<02719>
shall cut thee off
<03772> (8686)_,
it shall eat thee up
<0398> (8799)
like the cankerworm
<03218>_:
make thyself many
<03513> (8690)
as the cankerworm
<03218>_,
make thyself many
<03513> (8690)
as the locusts
<0697>_.
Thou hast multiplied
<07235> (8689)
thy merchants
<07402> (8802)
above the stars
<03556>
of heaven
<08064>_:
the cankerworm
<03218>
spoileth
<06584> (8804)_,
and flieth away
<05774> (8799)_.
{spoileth: or, spreadeth himself}
Thy crowned
<04502>
[are] as the locusts
<0697>_,
and thy captains
<02951>
as the great grasshoppers
<01462>_,
which camp
<02583> (8802)
in the hedges
<01448>
in the cold
<07135>
day
<03117>_,
[but] when the sun
<08121>
ariseth
<02224> (8804)
they flee away
<05074> (8776)_,
and their place
<04725>
is not known
<03045> (8738)
where
<0335>
they [are].
Thy shepherds
<07462> (8802)
slumber
<05123> (8804)_,
O king
<04428>
of Assyria
<0804>_:
thy nobles
<0117>
shall dwell
<07931> (8799)
[in the dust]: thy people
<05971>
is scattered
<06335> (8738)
upon the mountains
<02022>_,
and no man gathereth
<06908> (8764)
[them]. {nobles: or, valiant ones}
[There is] no healing
<03545>
of thy bruise
<07667>_;
thy wound
<04347>
is grievous
<02470> (8737)_:
all that hear
<08085> (8802)
the bruit
<08088>
of thee shall clap
<08628> (8804)
the hands
<03709>
over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness
<07451>
passed
<05674> (8804)
continually
<08548>_?
{healing: Heb. wrinkling}
