Brief summary
Nahum 1:2-10 contains an address to both Judah and Assyria jointly and can be viewed as the first of four major sections in Nahum. The message of this passage 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.
