Nahum 1:7

Protection and safetyGod's loveComfortDiscouragement and depression

5 The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence— the world and all its dwellers.

6 Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.

The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.

8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.

9 Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.
