²The Lord is a jealous God, and a revenger: the Lord is a revenger, and hath wrath: the Lord taketh vengeance on his adversaries, and he is angry with his enemies.

³The Lord is patient, and great in power, and will not cleanse and acquit the guilty. The Lord’s ways are in a tempest, and a whirlwind, and clouds are the dust of his feet.

⁴He rebuketh the sea and drieth it up: and bringeth all the rivers to be a desert. Basan languisheth and Carmel: and the flower of Libanus fadeth away.

⁵The mountains tremble at him, and the hills are made desolate: and the earth hath quaked at his presence, and the world, and all that dwell therein.

⁶Who can stand before the face of his indignation? and who shall resist in the fierceness of his anger? his indignation is poured out like fire: and the rocks are melted by him.

⁷The Lord is good, and giveth strength in the day of trouble: and knoweth them that hope in him.

⁸But with a flood that passeth by, he will make an utter end of the place thereof: and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

Read in Logos

Nahum 1:5: The mountains quake before him; the hills melt; the earth heaves before him, the world and all who dwell in it.
