{{quote | text=An oracle about [[Nineveh]]. The book of the vision of [[Nahum]] the [[Elkoshite]]. [[Nahum (WEB)|Full text of Nahum]]}}
{{summary | text=The book of Nahum is a book of the [[Old Testament]] that contains prophecy about the destruction of [[Nineveh]] because of the sinful ways of its people. Nineveh was the capital of the great and flourishing [[Assyria]]n empire, and it was only 100 or so years earlier that the people had repented after warnings from [[Jonah]]. The book also provided comfort for the people of [[Ancient Israel|Israel]] showing them that God was still in control and would fight for his people.}}
