Nahum 1:1-3:19 (KJV)  
    The burden of Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite. [2] God is
jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take
vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies. [3] The Lord is
slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath
his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. [4]
He rebuketh the sea, and maketh it dry, and drieth up all the rivers: Bashan languisheth,
and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon languisheth. [5] The mountains quake at him, and
the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that
dwell therein. [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. [9] What do ye imagine against the
Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time. [10] For
while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they
shall be devoured as stubble fully dry. [11] There is one come out of thee, that
imagineth evil against the Lord, a wicked counsellor. [12] Thus saith the Lord: Though
they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass
through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more. [13] For now will I
break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder. [14] And the Lord hath
given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown: out of the house
of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave;
for thou art vile. [15] Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good
tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for
the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off. 
    [2:1] He that dasheth in pieces is come up before thy face: keep the munition, watch
the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily. [2] For the Lord hath turned
away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied
them out, and marred their vine branches. [3] The shield of his mighty men is made red,
the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of
his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken. [4] The chariots shall rage
in the streets, they shall justle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem
like torches, they shall run like the lightnings. [5] He shall recount his worthies: they
shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defence
shall be prepared. [6] The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be
dissolved. [7] And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her
maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, tabering upon their breasts. [8] But
Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall
they cry; but none shall look back. [9] Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of
gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
[10] She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melteth, and the knees smite
together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness. [11]
Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the
lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion's whelp, and none made them afraid? [12]
The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and
filled his holes with prey, and his dens with ravin. [13] Behold, I am against thee,
saith the Lord of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall
devour thy young lions: and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy
messengers shall no more be heard. 
    [3:1] Woe to the bloody city! it is all full of lies and robbery; the prey departeth
not; [2] The noise of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of the wheels, and of the
pransing horses, and of the jumping chariots. [3] The horseman lifteth up both the bright
sword and the glittering spear: and there is a multitude of slain, and a great number of
carcases; and there is none end of their corpses; they stumble upon their corpses: [4]
Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of
witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her
witchcrafts. [5] Behold, I am against thee, saith the Lord of hosts; and I will discover
thy skirts upon thy face, and I will shew the nations thy nakedness, and the kingdoms thy
shame. [6] And I will cast abominable filth upon thee, and make thee vile, and will set
thee as a gazingstock. [7] And it shall come to pass, that all they that look upon thee
shall flee from thee, and say, Nineveh is laid waste: who will bemoan her? whence shall I
seek comforters for thee? [8] Art thou better than populous No, that was situate among
the rivers, that had the waters round about it, whose rampart was the sea, and her wall
was from the sea? [9] Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and
Lubim were thy helpers. [10] Yet was she carried away, she went into captivity: her young
children also were dashed in pieces at the top of all the streets: and they cast lots for
her honourable men, and all her great men were bound in chains. [11] Thou also shalt be
drunken: thou shalt be hid, thou also shalt seek strength because of the enemy. [12] All
thy strong holds shall be like fig trees with the firstripe figs: if they be shaken, they
shall even fall into the mouth of the eater. [13] Behold, thy people in the midst of thee
are women: the gates of thy land shall be set wide open unto thine enemies: the fire
shall devour thy bars. [14] Draw thee waters for the siege, fortify thy strong holds: go
into clay, and tread the morter, make strong the brickkiln. [15] There shall the fire
devour thee; the sword shall cut thee off, it shall eat thee up like the cankerworm: make
thyself many as the cankerworm, make thyself many as the locusts. [16] Thou hast
multiplied thy merchants above the stars of heaven: the cankerworm spoileth, and fleeth
away. [17] Thy crowned are as the locusts, and thy captains as the great grasshoppers,
which camp in the hedges in the cold day, but when the sun ariseth they flee away, and
their place is not known where they are. [18] Thy shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria:
thy nobles shall dwell in the dust: thy people is scattered upon the mountains, and no
man gathereth them. [19] There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all
that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy
wickedness passed continually?
