1	The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
			2	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# . [God...: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc] [is furious: Heb. that hath fury]
			3	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.
			4	He rebuketh# the sea, and maketh it dry# , and drieth up# all the rivers: Bashan languisheth# , and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth# .
			5	The mountains quake# at him, and the hills melt# , and the earth is burned# at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell# therein.
			6	Who 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. [abide: Heb. stand up]
			7	The LORD is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth# them that trust# in him. [strong hold: or, strength]
			8	But with an overrunning# flood he will make# an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue# his enemies# .
			9	What do ye imagine# against the LORD? he will make# an utter end: affliction shall not rise up# the second time.
			10	For while they be folden together# as thorns, and while they are drunken# as drunkards, they shall be devoured# as stubble fully dry.
			11	There is one come out# of thee, that imagineth# evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor# . [a wicked...: Heb. a counsellor of Belial]
			12	Thus 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. [Though...: or, If they would have been at peace, so should they have been many, and so should they have been shorn, and he should have passed away] [cut down: Heb. shorn]
			13	For now will I break# his yoke from off thee, and will burst# thy bonds in sunder# .
			14	And 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# .
			15	Behold 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# . [keep...: Heb. feast] [the wicked: Heb. Belial]
