Contemporary English Version
Nahum 1:3-5
Contemporary English Version
3 The Lord is powerful,
yet patient;
he makes sure that the guilty
are always punished.
He can be seen in storms
and in whirlwinds;
clouds are the dust from his feet.
4 At the Lord's command,
oceans and rivers dry up.
Bashan, Mount Carmel,
and Lebanon[a] wither,
and their flowers fade.
5 At the sight of the Lord,
mountains and hills
tremble and melt;
the earth and its people
shudder and shake.
Footnotes
- 1.4 Bashan, Mount Carmel, and Lebanon: Three regions noted for their trees and flowers.
