He is mightier than his enemies ([http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/nahum/1.2-3,5-6,8-10?lang=eng#1 2-3a, 5b-6, 8-10]). And he is a strong hold or refuge for those who trust in him ([http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/nahum/1.7?lang=eng#6 7]).

| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | ''Footnotes are not required but are encouraged for factual assertions that average readers cannot easily evaluate for themselves, such as the date of King Solomon’s death or the nuanced definition of a Greek word. In contrast, insights rarely benefit from footnoting, and the focus of this page should always remain on the scriptures themselves rather than what someone has said about them. Links are actively encouraged on all sections of this page, and links to authoritative sources are preferable to footnotes.''
