This is the burden against Nineveh, the book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite:
2 God jealous and to avenge LORD to avenge LORD and master: [master of] rage to avenge LORD to/for enemy his and to keep he/she/it to/for enemy his
The LORD is a jealous and avenging God; the LORD is avenging and full of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance on His foes and reserves wrath for His enemies.
3 LORD slow face: anger (and great: large *Q(K)*) strength and to clear not to clear LORD in/on/with whirlwind and in/on/with storm way: journey his and cloud dust foot his
The 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.
4 to rebuke in/on/with sea and to wither him and all [the] river to dry to weaken Bashan and Carmel and flower Lebanon to weaken
He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.
5 mountain: mount to shake from him and [the] hill to melt and to lift: raise [the] land: country/planet from face: before his and world and all to dwell in/on/with her
The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence— the world and all its dwellers.

Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.

The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.

But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.

Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.
10 for till thorn to interweave and like/as liquor their to imbibe to eat like/as stubble dry full
For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard— like stubble that is fully dry.
11 from you to come out: come to devise: devise upon LORD distress: evil to advise Belial: worthless
From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.
12 thus to say LORD if complete and so many and so to shear and to pass and to afflict you not to afflict you still
This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer.
13 and now to break yoke his from upon you and bond your to tear
For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”
14 and to command upon you LORD not to sow from name your still from house: temple God your to cut: eliminate idol and liquid to set: make grave your for to lighten
The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”
15 behold upon [the] mountain: mount foot to bear tidings to hear: proclaim peace to celebrate Judah feast your to complete vow your for not to add: again still (to/for to pass *Q(k)*) in/on/with you Belial: worthless all his to cut: eliminate
Look to the mountains— the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off.
