Targum Jonathan on Nahum
The burden [W. has shadow] of the cup of cursing which Nineveh is to be made to drink. First Jonah, son of Amitti, [W. inserts the prophet] of Gath Hepher, proph[e]sied against her, and she turned from her sins; and now that she sinned again, Nahum from the house of Koshi prophesied against her again, according as it is written in this record.

Targum Jonathan on Nahum
A God who is a judge and an avenger is Jehovah. An avenger is Jehovah and much power is with him. Ready is Jehovah to take vengeance upon the haters of his people, even in mighty anger upon his enemies.

Targum Jonathan on Nahum
Jehovah is slow to anger but much power is with him. Jehovah is ready to take vengeance [B. R. omits the foregoing clause.] but he forgives those who turn to the law; yet those who do not turn he does not fail to punish. Jehovah leads in tempest and in wind, and clouds of darkness he casts down before him.

Targum Jonathan on Nahum
When he reveals himself in mercy to give the law to his people, then the world trembles before him. But when he reveals himself in anger to take vengeance upon the haters of his people, before his vengeance who shall arise, and who shall bear up in the evil of his anger? His anger dissolves like fire, and the rocks are broken before him.

Targum Jonathan on Nahum
Ye peoples who have spoiled Israel, what are ye devising against Jehovah? An utter destruction of you he is about to make, and distress shall not arise against the house of Israel twice [W. reads, and there shall not arise to you twice, as to the house of Israel, breath after distress.].

Because the rulers of the people who spoiled the house of Israel, as they stagger in wine, so seduced them, and consumed them as fire consumes stubble very dry.

And Jehovah will command the king of Assyria concerning thee, and there shall no more be a remembrance of thy name. From the house of thy idols I will cut off carved image and molten image. There I will make thy grave because this is a very light thing for me.
