TSK · Nahum 1:8

He watches over his holy ones, but the wicked are made speechless in the darkness, for it is not by one’s own strength that one prevails.

The way of the wicked is like gloomy darkness; they do not know what they stumble over.

When one looks out over the land, he sees distress and darkness, gloom and anxiety, darkness and people forced from the land.

Your treaty with death will be dissolved; your agreement with Sheol will not last. When the overwhelming judgment sweeps by, you will be overrun by it.

“‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: In my rage I will make a violent wind break out. In my anger there will be a deluge of rain and hailstones in destructive fury.

His sons will wage war, mustering a large army which will advance like an overflowing river and carrying the battle all the way to the enemy’s fortress.

“At the time of the end the king of the south will attack him. Then the king of the north will storm against him with chariots, horsemen, and a large armada of ships. He will invade lands, passing through them like an overflowing river.

The Sovereign LORD of Heaven’s Armies will do this. He touches the earth and it dissolves; all who live on it mourn. The whole earth rises like the River Nile, and then grows calm like the Nile in Egypt.

Nineveh was like a pool of water throughout her days, but now her people are running away; she cries out:“Stop! Stop!”– but no one turns back.

The rain fell, the flood came, and the winds beat against that house, and it collapsed– it was utterly destroyed!”

Through these things the world existing at that time was destroyed when it was deluged with water.
