¶ The fyrst Chapter.
¶ Of the destruccyon of Niniue and of the delyueraunce
of Israel.
A Thys is the heuy burthen of
Niniue, whych Nahum of
Elchos dyd write as he sawe
it. noteThe Lorde is a gelous
God, ∧ a taker of vengeaunce
is the Lorde, and
wrothfull. noteThe Lorde taketh
vengeaunce of his enemyes, and reserueth
displeasure for his aduersaries. noteThe
Lord suffreth longe, he is of great power, ∧
so innoc&ebar;t note that he leaueth no man fautlesse
before him. The Lord goeth forth in t&ebar;pest
∧ stormy wether, the cloudes are the dust of
his fete. Wh&ebar; he reproueth the see, he dryeth
it vp, ∧ turneth all the floudes to drie lande
Basan is desolate, Charmel ∧ the pleasure
of Lybanus wasteth awaye.
B The mo&ubar;taynes
tremble for him, the hylles consume. At
the sight of him, the earth quaketh: yee, the
whole world, and all þt; dwell therin. noteWho
maye endure before hys wrath? Or who is
able to abide his gryme displeasure? His anger
taketh on lyke fyre, and the harde rockes
are clouen in sunder before him.
Full gracious is the Lord, and a stronge
holde in the time of trouble, he knoweth th&ebar;
that put their trust in hym: when the floude
renneth ouer, and destroyeth the place, and
wh&ebar; the darcknesse foloweth styll vpon his
enemyes.
C What do ye Imagin th&ebar; agaynst
þe; Lord on this maner? (Tush, wh&ebar; he hath
once made an ende, there shall come nomore
trouble.) For like as the thornes that stike
together, and as the drie strawe, so shall the
dr&obar;ckardes be consumed together, eu&ebar; when
they be full. There come oute of the soch as
Imagin myschefe, ∧ geue vngracious councell
agaynst the Lorde.
D Therfore thus sayeth the Lord: Let th&ebar;
be as well prepared: yee, ∧ as many as they
can, yet shall they be hew&ebar; downe, and passe
awaye. And as for þe;, I will vexe þe;, but not
vtterly destroye the. And now wil I breake
his 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 will I rote out of the
house of thy God. Thy graue shal I prepare
for the, and thou shalt be confounded.
