The Prophecy of Nahum.
The first Chapiter.
Almightie Lord is God in deed,his power it passeth all:
All loftie things he can destroy,
and keep his freends from thrall.
The wicked shall consumed be,
that Iuda did molest:
So should their feastes be kept again,
and they should liue in rest.
The ii. Chapiter.
so should th'Assirian power:
The Caldies should with force & might,
their land and them deuour.
Their Queen as captiue should be led,
their treasures quite bereft:
Their mightie men so Lionlike,
to them should not be left.
The iii. Chapiter.
Cast down God wil the Niniuites,that slowed so in pride:
The glory that that Cittie had,
it should be set aside.
Their multitude should not them help,
nor mighty men them ayd:
Their Cittie burnt, their land destroyd
the wrath should not be stayd.
FINIS.
VVhat Nahum said to Niniuie,
to you hath been exprest:
Now Abacuck his Prophecy,
it com'th among the rest.
to you hath been exprest:
Now Abacuck his Prophecy,
it com'th among the rest.
