Nahum 1:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
Nahum
1 Of the destruction of the Assyrians, and of the deliverance of Israel.
1 The [a]burden of Nineveh. [b]The book of the vision of Nahum the [c]Elkoshite.
2 God is [d]jealous, and the Lord revengeth: the Lord revengeth: even the Lord [e]of anger, the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
3 The [f]Lord is slow to anger, but he is great in power, and will not surely clear the wicked: the Lord hath his way in the whirlwind, and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
