1The vibes of Nineveh. Nahum the Elkoshite drops this vision, and it’s lit.

2God’s got that jealousy energy, and He’s all about revenge; no cap, His fury is real, and He’s got beef with His enemies.

3The Lord's chill with anger, but His power is massive; He ain’t letting the wicked slide. He’s got mad skills in the whirlwind and storm, and the clouds are just the dust of His kicks.

4He tells the sea to chill, and it’s dry now; all the rivers are on pause. Bashan and Carmel are feeling sus, and the flowers of Lebanon are not vibing.

5Mountains are shaking, hills are melting, and the earth’s on fire just from His presence; periodt, everything's lit.

6Who can handle His rage? Like, who can deal with that heat? His fury’s like fire, and He’s throwing rocks down like it’s nothing.

7The Lord is good, a solid fortress when stuff gets tough; He knows who’s got that trust in Him.

8But with a major flood, He’s wiping the place out, and darkness is coming for His foes.

9What are you plotting against the Lord? He’s about to end that; trouble ain’t coming back a second time.

10They’re all tangled up like thorns, and acting like wild drunks; they’re gonna be burned up like dry grass.

11Someone’s coming from you, scheming evil against the Lord, a wicked advisor for sure.

12The Lord’s saying, even if they’re quiet and a lot of them, they’re getting cut down when He rolls through. I’ve hit you before, but I ain’t doing it again.

13Now I’m breaking off that yoke from you, and I’m busting those chains wide open.

14The Lord’s got a message for you: your name’s getting wiped out; I’m cutting off your idols from the house of your gods. Your grave’s coming, 'cause you’re straight-up vile.

15Check out the mountains, the feet of someone bringing good news, spreading peace! O Judah, keep your celebrations, stick to your promises; the wicked won’t pass through you again; they’re totally cut off.

1The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

2God 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.

3The 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.

4He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth.

5The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

6Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

7The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.

8But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

9What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

10For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

11There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the Lord, a wicked counsellor.

12Thus saith the Lord; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

13For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.

14And the Lord hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile.

15Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
