{N}1,{/}1: This introductory song presents the central theme of Nahum's prophecy: Yahweh is concerned about being acknowledged on earth as the only God; he is present in everything that takes place in nature, and above all, in the faithfulness towards his friends.
Trusting in God's words, in a terrible poem Nahum prophesies the destruction of Nineveh blow by blow: it symbolizes liberation from all kinds of slavery.
Through Nahum, the Bible approves the happiness of all little people upon seeing the destruction of the powerful who ignored all their rights and dominated them through terror.
