Nahum 1:2

← Nahum 1:1	Nahum 1:2 (KJV)	Nahum 1:3 →
The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.	God [is] jealous, and the LORD revengeth; the LORD revengeth, and [is] furious; the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth [wrath] for his enemies.	The LORD [is] slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit [the wicked]: the LORD hath his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds [are] the dust of his feet.
