3The LORD is slow to anger
and great in power;
the LORD will by no means
leave the guilty unpunished.
His path is in the whirlwind and storm,
and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
4He rebukes the sea and dries it up;
He makes all the rivers run dry.
Bashan and Carmel wither,
and the flower of Lebanon wilts.
5The mountains quake before Him,
and the hills melt away;
the earth trembles at His presence —
the world and all its dwellers.
6Who can withstand His indignation?
Who can endure His burning anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire;
even rocks are shattered before Him.
7The LORD is good,
a stronghold in the day of distress;
He cares for those who trust in Him.
8But with an overwhelming flood
He will make an end of Nineveh
and pursue His enemies into darkness.
— Nahum 1:3-8
