Nahum foretells Nineveh's fall
A century after Jonah, Nahum announced that Nineveh, now at the height of its cruelty and power, would be utterly destroyed.
Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knows those who take refuge in him.
Nahum 1:7 (World English Bible)
Nahum's book is one long poem of judgment against the city that had repented under Jonah and then returned to its violence. It also carries comfort for Judah: Yahweh is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble.

Nahum 3:8–10 mentions the fall of Thebes in Egypt (conventionally 663 BC) as past, and Nineveh fell in 612 BC. Ussher places Nahum earlier, under Hezekiah; the date shown follows the internal evidence and is an estimate.
