This is the message for the city of Nineveh.[a] This is the book of the vision of Nahum, who was from the town of Elkosh.

The Lord Is Angry with Nineveh

The Lord is a jealous God who punishes;
    the Lord punishes and is filled with anger.
The Lord punishes those who are against him,
    and he stays angry with his enemies.
The Lord does not become angry quickly,
    and his power is great.
    The Lord will not let the guilty go unpunished.
Where the Lord goes, there are whirlwinds and storms,
    and the clouds are the dust beneath his feet.
