Nahum 1:2
God’s Wrath Against Nineveh
2 cThe Lord is a jealous and avenging God;the Lord is avenging and wrathful;

They have followed wthe way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved xgain from wrongdoing, 16but was rebuked for his own transgression; ya speechless donkey spoke with human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness. 17 zThese are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. aaFor them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved.
