1I am Nahum, from Elkosh village. This is a message about Nineveh city, the capital of Assyria that was given to me in a vision by Yahweh.
2Yahweh our God ◄is jealous/does not want people to worship any other god►.
3Yahweh does not quickly become angry;
4When he commands oceans and rivers to become dry,
5When he appears, it is as though the mountains shake and the hills melt;
6There is no one [RHQ] who can resist him when he becomes extremely angry;
7But he is good;
8But he will get rid of his enemies;
9So, it is useless [RHQ] for you people of Nineveh to plot against Yahweh.
10It will be as though his enemies are tangled in thorns,
11In Nineveh city there was a man who advised people to do very wicked things to Yahweh.
12But this is what Yahweh says about you Israeli people:
13Now I will cause the people of Assyria to no longer control/oppress you [MET];
14And this is what Yahweh also declares about you people of Nineveh:
15You people of Judah, look! A messenger will be coming across the mountains,
