Updated King James Version " I love Jesus (UKJV)."
Chapter
1 2 3
Nahum
1:1 The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
1:2 God is jealous, and the LORD revenges; the LORD revenges, and is furious;
the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserves wrath for his
enemies.
1:3 The LORD is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit
the wicked: the LORD has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the
clouds are the dust of his feet.
1:4 He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers: Bashan
languishes, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
1:5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned
at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.
1:6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness
of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down
by him.
1:7 The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knows them
that trust in him.
1:8 But with a surpassing flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof,
and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
1:9 What do all of you imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end:
affliction shall not rise up the second time.
1:10 For while they be folded together as thorns, and while they are drunken
as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
1:11 There is one come out of you, that imagines evil against the LORD, a
wicked counsellor.
1:12 Thus says the LORD; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus
shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted
you, I will afflict you no more.
1:13 For now will I break his yoke from off you, and will burst your bonds
in two.
1:14 And the LORD has given a commandment concerning you, that no more of
your name be sown: out of the house of your gods will I cut off the graven image
and the molten image: I will make your grave; for you are vile.
1:15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that brings good tidings,
that publishes peace! O Judah, keep your solemn feasts, perform your vows: for
the wicked shall no more pass through you; he is utterly cut off.
