Brief summary

Nahum 1:2-10 contains the first of four addresses in Nahum. This opening address is directed to both Judah and Assyria jointly.[1] The message here is simple. God is mightier than the elements (3b-5a). He is mightier than his enemies (2-3a, 5b-6, 8-10). And he is a strong hold or refuge for those who trust in him (7).


Detailed discussion

Verse 3

Verse 3 is a reference to Exodus 34:6-7, repeating the parts about God's justice but leaving out the parts about his mercy.
