Nahum 1:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 The Lord is good [a]and as a stronghold in the day of trouble, and he knoweth them that trust in him.
8 But passing over as with a flood, he will utterly destroy the [b]place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.
9 What do ye [c]imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter destruction: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
