I. |The introductory word — 1:1

II. |Jehovah as the majestic Judge — 1:2-7

Nahum|1:2|-|Jehovah is a |a|jealous God and One who avenges;Jehovah avenges and is full of wrath;Jehovah takes vengeance on His adversaries,And reserves wrath for His enemies.Nahum|1:3|-|Jehovah is |a|long-suffering and great in powerAnd will by no means clear the guilty.Jehovah—His way is in the whirlwind and in the storm,And the |b|clouds are the dust of His feet.Nahum|1:4|-|He |a|rebukes the sea and makes it dry,And He dries up all the rivers.Bashan and Carmel languish,And the sprout of Lebanon languishes.Nahum|1:5|-|The mountains |a|quake because of Him,And the hills |b|melt,And the earth is heaved up at His presence,Indeed the world, and all that inhabit it.Nahum|1:6|-||a|Who can stand before His indignation,And who can maintain himself in the fierceness of His anger?His wrath is poured out like fire,And the rocks are broken down by Him.Nahum|1:7|-|Jehovah is good,A stronghold in a day of distress;And He |a|knows those who take |b|refuge in Him.

Nahum|1:9|-|What do you |a|devise against Jehovah?He will make a full end;Distress will not arise a second time.
Nahum|1:10|-|For though they are entangled like thornsAnd like those drunken with their drink,They will be consumed as fully as dry stubble.
Nahum|1:11|-|One went forth from youWho devises evil against Jehovah,Who counsels wickedness.
Nahum|1:12|-|Thus says Jehovah,Though they are complete in number and even numerous,Even so they will be cut down; and |1|they will pass away.And though I have afflicted you,I will afflict you |a|no more.
Nahum|1:13|-|And now I will break |1|his |a|yoke from off youAnd will snap your bonds asunder.Nahum|1:14|-|And Jehovah has commanded concerning you:No more of your name will be sown;Out of the house of your gods I will cut offThe graven idol and the molten idol;I will make your grave, for you are worthless.
Nahum|1:15|-||a|See, upon the mountainsThe feet of him who bears the |1|glad news,Who announces peace!Keep your feasts, O Judah;Complete your vows;For the wicked one will never againPass through you;He will be completely cut off.
