1 Oracle on Nineveh. Book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh.
Aleph
2 Yahweh is a jealous and vengeful God, Yahweh avenges, he is full of wrath; Yahweh takes vengeance on his foes, he stores up fury for his enemies.
3 Yahweh is slow to anger but immense in power. Most surely Yahweh will not leave the guilty unpunished.
Ghimel

7 Yahweh is good; he is a stronghold in the day of distress;
he calls to mind those who trust in him
8 when the flood overtakes them.
to Judah
9 How do you imagine Yahweh? He it is who utterly destroys: oppression will not lift its head a second time.
10 They will be consumed like a thicket of thorns, like dry straw, utterly.
to Assyria
11 From you has sprung one who plots evil against Yahweh, a man with the mind of Belial.[*a]
to Judah
12 Yahweh says this: Equipped and many though they be, they are going to be cut down, annihilated. Though I have disciplined you, I will discipline you no more.
13 And now I am going to break that yoke of his that weighs you down, and I will burst your chains.
to the king of Nineveh
14 For you, here is Yahweh’s decree: There will be no more offspring to bear your name; from the temple of your gods I mean to take away the carved and the cast image, and I intend to make your tomb an object of shame.
