Superscription

The oracle concerning Nineveh—
    the scroll of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:

Half-Acrostic: Yahweh Takes Vengeance against His Enemies

Yahweh is a jealous God and avenging;
    Yahweh is avenging and full of wrath.[a]
Yahweh takes vengeance against his enemies;
    he rages against his adversaries.
Yahweh is slow to anger but great in power;
    he will certainly not allow the guilty to go unpunished.
He marches[b] in storm wind and in gale;
    storm clouds are the dust of his feet.
