Nahum 1:6-8

International Standard Version

⁶ Who can stand before his fury?
    And who can endure his fierce anger?
His displeasure pours out like fire,
    and rocks are broken to pieces because of him.

⁷ The Lord is good—
    a refuge in troubled times.^[a]
He knows those who are confiding in him.
⁸ But with an overwhelming deluge he will bring utter desolation to Nineveh,^[b]
    and his enemies he will pursue with darkness.
