1 ΛΗΜΜΑ Νινευὴ, βιβλίον ὁράσεως Ναοὺμ τοῦ Ἐλκεσαίου. 2 Θεὸς ζηλωτὴς, καὶ ἐκδικῶν Κύριος, ἐκδικῶν Κύριος μετὰ θυμοῦ, ἐκδικῶν Κύριος τοὺς ὑπεναντίους αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαίρων αὐτὸς τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ. 3 Κύριος μακρόθυμος, καὶ μεγάλη ἡ ἰσχὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀθῶον οὐκ ἀθωώσει Κύριος· ἐν συντελείᾳ, καὶ ἐν συσσεισμῷ ἡ ὁδὸς αὐτοῦ, καὶ νεφέλαι κονιορτὸς ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. 4 Ἀπειλῶν θαλάσσῃ, καὶ ξηραίνων αὐτὴν, καὶ πάντας τοὺς ποταμοὺς ἐξερημῶν· ὠλιγώθη ἡ Βασανίτις, καὶ ὁ Κάρμηλος, καὶ τὰ ἐξανθοῦντα τοῦ Λιβάνου ἐξέλιπε. 5 Τὰ ὄρη ἐσείσθησαν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ, καὶ οἱ βουνοὶ ἐσαλεύθησαν· καὶ ἀνεστάλη ἡ γῆ ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ, ἡ σύμπασα καὶ πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν αὐτῇ. 6 Ἀπὸ προσώπου ὀργῆς αὐτοῦ τίς ὑποστήσεται; καὶ τίς ἀντιστήσεται ἐν ὀργῇ θυμοῦ αὐτοῦ; ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ τήκει ἀρχὰς, καὶ αἱ πέτραι διεθρύβησαν ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ. 7 Χρηστὸς Κύριος τοῖς ὑπομένουσιν αὐτὸν ἐν ἡμέρᾳ θλίψεως, καὶ γινώσκων τοὺς εὐλαβουμένους αὐτόν. 8 Καὶ ἐν κατακλυσμῷ πορείας συντέλειαν ποιήσεται, τοὺς ἐπεγειρομένους καὶ τοὺς ἐχθροὺς αὐτοῦ διώξεται σκότος. 9 Τί λογίζεσθε ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον; συντέλειαν αὐτὸς ποιήσεται, οὐκ ἐκδικήσει δὶς ἐπιτοαυτὸ ἐν θλίψει. 10 Ὅτι ἕως θεμελίου αὐτοῦ χερσωθήσεται· καὶ ὡς σμῖλαξ περιπλεκομένη βρωθήσεται, καὶ ὡς καλάμη ξηρασίας μεστή. 11 Ἐκ σοῦ ἐξελεύσεται λογισμὸς κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου, πονηρὰ βουλευόμενος ἐναντία. 12 Τάδε λέγει Κύριος κατάρχων ὑδάτων πολλῶν, καὶ οὕτως διασταλήσονται, καὶ ἡ ἀκοή σου οὐκ ἐνακουσθήσεται ἔτι. 13 Καὶ νῦν συντρίψω τὴν ῥάβδον αὐτοῦ ἀπὸ σοῦ, καὶ τοὺς δεσμοὺς διαῤῥήξω. 14 Καὶ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ Κύριος, οὐ σπαρήσεται ἐκ τοῦ ὀνόματός σου ἔτι· ἐξ οἴκου θεοῦ σου ἐξολοθρεύσω τὰ γλυπτὰ, καὶ χωνευτὰ, θήσομαι ταφήν σου, ὅτι ταχεῖς.
