‏ Nahum 1:4

4. rebuketh the sea--as Jesus did (Mt 8:26), proving Himself God (compare Is 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 (Ho 14:7). As Bashan was famed for its pastures, Carmel for its corn fields and vineyards, so Lebanon for its forests (Is 33:9). There is nothing in the world so blooming that God cannot change it when He is wroth.
