1 The pronouncementa concerning Nineveh.b The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.
2 The Lord is a jealous and avenging God;
the Lord takes vengeance
and is fierce inA wrath.
The Lord takes vengeance against his foes;c
he is furious with his enemies.d
3 The Lord is slow to anger but great in power;
the Lord will never leave the guilty unpunished.e
His path is in the whirlwind and storm,f
and clouds are the dust beneath his feet.g
4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up,
and he makes all the rivers run dry.h
Bashan and Carmel wither;i
even the flower of Lebanon withers.
5 The mountains quake before him,
and the hills melt;
the earth tremblesB,C at his presence—
the world and all who live in it.j
6 Who can withstand his indignation?
Who can endure his burning anger?k
His wrath is poured out like fire;l
even rocks are shattered before him.
7 The Lord is good,
a stronghold in a day of distress;
he cares for those who take refugem in him.
8 But he will completely destroy NinevehD
with an overwhelming flood,n
and he will chase his enemies into darkness.
9 Whatever youE plot against the Lord,
he will bring it to complete destruction;o
oppression will not rise up a second time.
like entangled thorns,p
like the drink of a drunkard
and like straw that is fully dry.F
11 One has gone out from you,G
who plots evil against the Lord,
and is a wicked counselor.
PROMISE OF JUDAH’S DELIVERANCE
12 This is what the Lord says:
Though they are strongH and numerous,
they will still be mowed down,
and heI will pass away.
Though I have punished you,J,q
I will punish you no longer.r
13 For I will now break off his yoke from you
and tear off your shackles.
14 The Lord has issued an order concerning you:
There will be no offspring
I will eliminate the carved idol and cast image
from the house of your gods;t
I will prepare your grave,
for you are contemptible.
the feet of the herald,u
who proclaims peace.
Celebrate your festivals, Judah;
fulfill your vows.
For the wicked one will never again
march through you;
he will be entirely wiped out.

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
