Jamieson Fausset Brown Commentary - Nahum 1:4 - 1:4


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

rebuketh the sea - as Jesus did (Mat 8:26), proving Himself God (compare Isa 50:2).

Bashan languisheth - through drought; ordinarily it was a region famed for its rich pasturage (compare Joe 1:10).

flower of Lebanon - its bloom; all that blooms so luxuriantly on Lebanon (Hos 14:7). As Bashan was famed for its pastures, Carmel for its corn fields and vineyards, so Lebanon for its forests (Isa 33:9). There is nothing in the world so blooming that God cannot change it when He is wroth.
