Why Does Nineveh Oppose the Lord?

The Lord is good.
⌞He is⌟ a fortress in the day of trouble.
He knows those who seek shelter in him.
He will put an end to Nineveh
with a devastating flood.
He will pursue his enemies with darkness.
What do you think about the Lord?
He is the one who will bring Nineveh to an end.
This trouble will never happen again.

  1. Nahum 1:9 Or What do you foes plot against the Lord? / He will bring it

The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
