1A pronouncement about Nineveh: The record of the vision of Nahum from Elkosh.

1This is the burden against Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:

2A jealous God, the LORD avenges. The LORD avenges; The Lord is an angry husband. The LORD takes vengeance on his enemies, reserving anger for his adversaries.

2The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on His foes and reserves wrath for His enemies.

3The LORD is slow to anger and powerful, and he will never let the guilty go unpunished. The LORD's path is in the windstorm and hurricane; thunderclouds are dust beneath his feet.

3The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

4He rebukes the sea, and it evaporates; he dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither, while the flowers of Lebanon languish.

4He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.

5Mountains shake because of him, and the hills melt. The earth goes into upheaval at his presence, as does the world with all of its inhabitants.

5The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence—the world and all its dwellers.

6Who can stand before his fury? And who can endure his fierce anger? His displeasure pours out like fire, and rocks are broken to pieces because of him.

6Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.

7The LORD is good— a refuge in troubled times. He knows those who are confiding in him.

7The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.

8But with an overwhelming deluge he will bring utter desolation to Nineveh, and his enemies he will pursue with darkness.

8But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.

9What are you scheming against the LORD? He will bring about utter desolation— adversity will not strike twice!

9Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.

10Indeed, while tangled as by a thorn bush, while drunken as by a strong drink, the Ninevites will be burned like dry straw.

10For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard—like stubble that is fully dry.

11Someone has left you who plans evil against the LORD. He is a demonic counselor.

11From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.

12This is what the LORD says: "No matter how strong they are, and no matter how numerous, they will surely be annihilated and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will do so no more.

12This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer.

13Now I will break off Assyria's yoke from you, and tear apart your shackles."

13For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”

14Now this is what the Lord has decreed about you, Nineveh: "There will be no more children born to carry on your name. I will cut out the graven and molten images from the temples of your gods. I myself will dig your grave, because you are vile."

14The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”

15 Look! There on the mountains! The feet of the one who brings good news, who broadcasts a message of peace. Judah, celebrate your solemn festivals and keep your vows, because the wicked will never again invade you. Nineveh will be completely eliminated!

15Look to the mountains—the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off.
