Nahum 1:3 in Context — Nahum 1

1 Revelação sobre Nínive. Livro da visão de Naum o elcosita.

2 O SENHOR é Deus zeloso e vingador; o SENHOR é vingador e furioso; o SENHOR se vinga de seus adversários, e que guarda [ira] contra seus inimigos.

3 O SENHOR é tardio para se irar, porém grande em poder; e não terá [ao culpado] por inocente. O SENHOR caminha entre a tempestade e o turbilhão, e as nuvens são o pó de seus pés.

4 Ele repreende o mar, e o faz secar; e deixa secos todos os rios. Basã e o Carmelo se definham, e a flor do Líbano murcha.

5 Os montes tremem diante dele, e os morros se derretem; e a terra se abala em sua presença, e o mundo, e todos os que nele habitam.
