1The plague of Nineva that is in the scroll of the visions of Nakhum the Alqushite
2God is zealous and an avenger. LORD JEHOVAH avenges, LORD JEHOVAH avenges in passion, LORD JEHOVAH on his haters, and he watches his enemies
3Patient is the Spirit of LORD JEHOVAH and great is his power, and he does not declare innocent to declare innocent; LORD JEHOVAH is in the whirlwind and his way is in the tempest, and the clouds are the dust of his feet
4He rebuked the Sea and dried it up and he laid waste to all the rivers; Mathnin and Karmela howled and the fruit of Lebanon dried up
5Mountains shook from before him and the hills are broken apart; the Earth shook from before him, the world and all its inhabitants
6Who is standing before his passion and who endures the heat of his passion? His anger burns like fire and the mountains melted from it
7Good is LORD JEHOVAH to help in the day of trouble, and he knows those who trust upon him
8And in a flood he makes an end; he shall remove to his place and the darkness will chase his enemies
9What are you counseling against LORD JEHOVAH who makes the end, and suffering shall not rise a second time?
10Because they are rebellious towards their Rulers and in their drunkenness they drink and they eat and they are filled with dried stubble
11From you he will come forth who devises wickedness against LORD JEHOVAH, and feeds upon evil
12Thus says LORD JEHOVAH concerning the sources of many waters: ”They have trickled and they have passed away, and though I have afflicted you, I shall afflict you no more
13Therefore I shall break his yoke from you and your bonds I shall cut off
14And LORD JEHOVAH shall command concerning you, and the house of your god will not be disseminated again from your name, and I shall destroy the carved images and the smelted ones, and I shall quickly make it your grave
15Behold, upon the mountains the feet of the Evangelist and him who announces peace! Perform your feasts, Yehuda, and finish your vows, because evil continues to work in you no more, because all of it is destroyed!
