The Lord Is a Jealous and Avenging God - Nahum 1: 1-5

The Lord is a jealous and avenging God coming with vengeance full of wrath for all His enemies He will defeat with His mighty hand from His path This is a God of awesome power who delays His anger so very slow for He stands upon the clouded dust watching the storms hit a striking blow Almighty God reveals His authority standing high over every high hill uttering forcefully a voice of thunder makes His enemies sit really still All the waters are dried up under God's spell making it so many are withered by the effect as God punishes His every foe This God is the supreme Lord the mountains so great do quake all of the earth is set to change its survival the Lord proves is at stake (Nahum 1: 1-5 ESV) 1. An oracle concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum of Elkosh. 2 The Lord is a jealous and avenging God; the Lord is avenging and wrathful; the Lord takes vengeance on his adversaries and keeps wrath for his enemies. 3 The Lord is slow to anger and great in power, 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. 4 He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; he dries up all the rivers; Bashan and Carmel wither; the bloom of Lebanon withers. 5 The mountains quake before him; the hills melt; the earth heaves before him, the world and all who dwell in it.
