== Brief summary ==
+
 
+
Nahum 1:2-10 contains an address to both Judah and Assyria jointly[1] and can be viewed as the first of four major sections in Nahum. The message of this passage is simple. God is mightier than the elements ([http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/nahum/1.3-5?lang=eng#2 3b-5a]). He is mightier than his enemies ([http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/nahum/1.2-3,5-6,8-10?lang=eng#1 2-3a, 5b-6, 8-10]). And he is a strong hold or refuge for those who trust in him ([http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/nahum/1.7?lang=eng#6 7]).

=== '''Verse 3''' ===
+
 
+
Verse 3 is a reference to [http://www.lds.org/scriptures/ot/ex/34.6-7?lang=eng#5 Exodus 34:6-7], repeating the parts about God's justice but leaving out the parts about his mercy.
