“This message concerning Nineveh cam as a vision to Nahum, who lived in Elkosh.
The Lord is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and rage. He takes revenge on all who oppose Him and continues to rage against His enemies.! The Lord is slow to get angry, but His power is great and He never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays His power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath His feet.” (vv. 1-3, NLT)
“The Lord is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in Him. But he will sweep away His enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will pursue His foes into the darkness of night.” (vv. 7-8, NLT)
