An oracle concerning Nin′eveh. The book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh.

The Consuming Wrath of God

The Lord is a jealous God and avenging,
    the Lord is avenging and wrathful;
the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries
    and keeps wrath for his enemies.

    and the Lord will by no means clear the guilty.

His way is in whirlwind and storm,
    and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
