Nahum 1:1-3

New Life Version

1 This is the word about Nineveh, the book of the special dream of Nahum the Elkoshite.

God’s Anger against Nineveh

² The Lord is a jealous God and One Who punishes. The Lord punishes and is angry. The Lord punishes those who fight against Him. He is angry with those who hate Him. ³ The Lord is slow to anger and great in power. The Lord will be sure to punish the guilty. The way He punishes is in the strong-wind and storm. The clouds are the dust under His feet.
