Summary "The World English Bible (WEB): Nahum" by Anonymous is a prophetic book from the Bible written during the 7th century BC. It belongs to the genre of religious scripture, specifically focusing on prophecy and divine judgment. The book primarily discusses the impending downfall of Nineveh, the capital of Assyria, and serves as a message of hope for the oppressed people of Judah, indicating that divine intervention will bring about justice. The content of Nahum is characterized by vivid imagery and powerful language that conveys the wrath of Yahweh against Nineveh, illustrating the city's imminent destruction due to its wickedness and oppression. The prophet Nahum presents a vision of calamity that will befall Nineveh, describing scenes of chaos and despair as the city is besieged and overrun. Key themes include the majesty and might of Yahweh, the assurance of justice for the oppressed, and the inevitability of divine retribution against those who perpetuate evil. Nahum calls the people of Judah to rejoice in the fate of their oppressor, highlighting a transition from suffering to vindication. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
