The .fyrst. Chapter.
Of the destruccyon of Niniue and of the delyueraunce
of Israell.
A noteThys is the heuye
burthen of Niniue, which
Nahum of Elchos dyd
wryte as he sawe it. The
Lorde is a gelous God, ∧
a taker of vengeaunce: yee
a taker of vengeaunce is þe;
Lorde, and wrathfull. The Lord taketh vengeaunce
of hys enemyes, and reserueth dyspleasure
for his aduersaries. noteThe Lorde suffreth
longe, he is of greate power, ∧ so innocent
that he leaueth no man fautlesse before
hym. The Lorde goeth forth in tempest and
stormy wether, the cloudes are the dust of his
fete. When he reproueth the sea, he drieth it
vp, and turneth all the floudes to drye lande.
B Basan is desolate, Charmel ∧ the pleasure of
Lybanus wasteth awaye. The mountaynes
tremble for him, the hylles consume. At the
syght of hym, þe; earth quaketh: yee the whole
world, and all that dwell therin. noteWho maye
endure before his wrath? Or who is able to
abyde hys gryme displeasure? His anger taketh
on lyke fyre, and the harde rockes burst
in sunder before hym.
Full gracious is the Lorde, and a stronge
holde in the tyme of trouble, he knoweth th&ebar;
that put their truste in hym: when the floude
renneth ouer, and destroyeth the place, and
when the darcknesse foloweth styll vpon his
enemyes.
C What do ye Imagin then agaynst
the Lord on this maner? (Tush, wh&ebar; he hath
ones made an ende, there shall come nomore
trouble.) For lyke as the thornes that sticke
together, and as the drye strawe, so shall the
dronckardes be c&obar;sumed together, euen wh&ebar;
they be full. There come oute of the soche as
Imagin meschefe, ∧ geue vngracious councell
agaynst the Lorde.
D Therfore thus sayeth the Lorde: Let them
be as well prepared, yee and as many as they
can, yet shall they be hewen downe, ∧ passe
awaye. And as for the, I wyll vexe þe;, but not
vtterly destroye the. And now wyll I breake
hys rodde from thy backe, ∧ burst thy b&obar;des
in sonder. But the Lorde hath geuen a commaundement
concernynge the, þt; there shall
come nomore sede of thy name. noteThe carued
∧ casten Images wyll I rote out of the house
of thy God. Thy graue shall I prepare for
the, and thou shalt be coufounded.
