Nahum 1:1-3

Living Bible

1 This is the vision God gave to Nahum, who lived in Elkosh, concerning the impending doom of Nineveh:^[a]

² God is jealous over those he loves; that is why he takes vengeance on those who hurt them. He furiously destroys their enemies. ³ He is slow in getting angry, but when aroused, his power is incredible, and he does not easily forgive. He shows his power in the terrors of the cyclone and the raging storms; clouds are billowing dust beneath his feet!
