⁶ ·No one [^LWho…?] can ·stay alive [withstand/stand before] ·when he is angry [his indignation/anger];
    no one can ·survive [endure] his ·strong [fierce; burning] anger.
His ·anger [wrath] is poured out like fire;
    the rocks ·are smashed by [crumble before] him.

⁷ The Lord is good,
    ·giving protection [a stronghold; refuge] in ·times [^Lthe day] of trouble.
    He ·knows [cares for] those who trust in him.
⁸ But like a ·rushing [overwhelming] flood,
    he will ·completely destroy [make an end of] ·Nineveh [her place; ^CNineveh was destroyed in 612 bc, after Nahum wrote];
    he will ·chase [pursue] his enemies ·until he kills them [into darkness].
