This book is the vision of Nahum from Elkosh. This is the sad message about the city of Nineveh.[a]

The Lord Is Angry at Nineveh

The Lord is a jealous God.
    The Lord punishes the guilty,
    and he is very angry.
The Lord punishes his enemies,
    and he stays angry with them.
The Lord is patient,
    but he is also very powerful!
The Lord will punish the guilty;
    he will not let them go free.
He will use whirlwinds and storms to show his power.
    People walk on the dusty ground, but he walks on the clouds.
