Nahum 1:2-4
Good News Translation
The Lord's Anger against Nineveh
2 The Lord God tolerates no rivals;
he punishes those who oppose him.
In his anger he pays them back.
3 The Lord does not easily become angry,
but he is powerful
and never lets the guilty go unpunished.
Where the Lord walks, storms arise;
the clouds are the dust raised by his feet!
4 He commands the sea, and it dries up!
He makes the rivers go dry.
The fields of Bashan wither,
Mount Carmel turns brown,
and the flowers of Lebanon fade.
Nahum 1:2-4
New International Version
The Lord’s Anger Against Nineveh
2 The Lord is a jealous(A) and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeance(B) and is filled with wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance on his foes
and vents his wrath against his enemies.(C)
3 The Lord is slow to anger(D) but great in power;
the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished.(E)
His way is in the whirlwind(F) and the storm,(G)
and clouds(H) are the dust of his feet.
4 He rebukes(I) the sea and dries it up;(J)
he makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel(K) wither
and the blossoms of Lebanon fade.
