Nahum 1:6–8

6 Who can withstand his indignation?

Who can endure his fierce anger?

His wrath is poured out like fire;

the rocks are shattered before him.

7 The Lord is good,

a refuge in times of trouble.

He cares for those who trust in him,

8 but with an overwhelming flood

he will make an end of Nineveh;

he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.

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.

7 The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;

And he knoweth them that trust in him.

8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof,

And darkness shall pursue his enemies.

Who can survive his burning fury?

and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.

in an overwhelming flood.

into the darkness of night.

no one can survive his strong anger.

His anger is poured out like fire;

the rocks are smashed by him.

giving protection in times of trouble.

He knows who trusts in him.

8 But like a rushing flood,

he will completely destroy Nineveh;
