When we read Nahum today,
I found it hard to concentrate.
There was no story, some threats
And obscure names.
And God is quite unhappy with
Nineveh. They have been rotten
For a long time, and though slow
To anger, He won’t acquit the wicked.
I want the wicked to repent;
I want the violence to end.
Nahum says nothing of the former,
Though the latter will come to pass.
The LORD is good, a stronghold in trouble.
