Nahum 1:8 in Context — Nahum 1

6 ¿Quién permanecerá delante de su ira? ¿y quién quedará en pié en el furor de su enojo? Su ira se derrama como fuego, y por él se hienden las peñas.

7 Bueno es Jehová para fortaleza en el día de la angustia; y conoce á los que en él confían.

8 Mas con inundación impetuosa hará consumación de su lugar, y tinieblas perseguirán á sus enemigos.

9 ¿Qué pensáis contra Jehová? El hará consumación: la tribulación no se levantará dos veces.

10 Porque como espinas entretegidas, mientras se embriagarán los borrachos, serán consumidos como las estopas llenas de sequedad.
