New Living Translation (NLT)
Micah 7
20 You will show us your faithfulness and unfailing love as you promised to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob long ago.
Nahum 1
1 This message concerning Nineveh came as a vision to Nahum, who lived in Elkosh.
2 The LORD is a jealous God, filled with vengeance and rage. He takes revenge on all who oppose him and continues to rage against his enemies!
3 The LORD is slow to get angry, but his power is great, and he never lets the guilty go unpunished. He displays his power in the whirlwind and the storm. The billowing clouds are the dust beneath his feet.
4 At his command the oceans dry up, and the rivers disappear. The lush pastures of Bashan and Carmel fade, and the green forests of Lebanon wither.
5 In his presence the mountains quake, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles, and its people are destroyed.
6 Who can stand before his fierce anger? Who can survive his burning fury? His rage blazes forth like fire, and the mountains crumble to dust in his presence.
7 The LORD is good, a strong refuge when trouble comes. He is close to those who trust in him.
8 But he will sweep away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will pursue his foes into the darkness of night.
9 Why are you scheming against the LORD? He will destroy you with one blow; he won’t need to strike twice!
10 His enemies, tangled like thornbushes and staggering like drunks, will be burned up like dry stubble in a field.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
