Nahum 1:1-3

Easy-to-Read Version

² 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.
³ 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.
