Nahum 1:8 meaning and explanation
But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.
Nahum 1:8, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Nahum is prophesying against Nineveh, the Assyrian capital that had crushed Judah, and in verse 8 he pictures God's judgment arriving like a flood that sweeps the city away. The Hebrew word translated "overwhelming" carries the sense of something that passes over and engulfs, and "darkness" suggests pursuit with no escape.
