1. An oracle for Nineveh, a writing of the vision of Nahum, the Elkoshite.
2. The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;the Lord avenges and is furious.The Lord takes vengeance on His enemies,and He reserves it for His adversaries;
3. the Lord is slow to anger and great in power,and the Lord will in no way acquit the guilty.In gale winds and a storm is His way,and clouds are the dust of His feet.
