Nahum

Three chapters about the fall of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria. It opens with a description of the LORD as slow to anger but certain to punish, then turns into a fast, picture-by-picture account of an army at Nineveh's gates: chariots in the streets, the palace giving way, the city emptied of its silver and gold. It ends by telling Judah its suffering under Assyria is over, and saying that everyone who hears the news will clap their hands.
