Matthew Poole and continuators on Nahum 1:2

2 God is jealous , and the LORD revengeth , the LORD revengeth , and is furious , the LORD will take vengeance on his adversaries, and hereserveth wrath for his enemies.

The mighty God, so the Fr. Version, and the Heb. [non-Latin text not transcribed] implyeth it.

His Love is fervent for his people, his displeasure hot against his, and their Enemies, whose Idolatries he will not long bear against himself, nor their cruelties and rage against his people, but as jealous for his peoples good, and for his own Glory he will appear and act, so Isa. 42.13. Ezek. 39.25. and Zech. 1.14. and 8.2.

Iehovah, the Everlasting and Unchangeable God, the same alwayes towards his people▪

As Supream Governour, who by Office is, and accounts himself bound, to right the oppressed, and to punish the oppressour, so vengeance is the Lords, and he will repay.

'Tis repeated for confirming the truth, and to affect the wicked with terrour, and to awaken them to a timely Repentance, to affect Gods own people with joy and hope that they may wait on him till they see the vengeance from God mighty, judge, zealous, unchangeable, and eternal.

Heb. is Lord, or Master of Fury, not like furious men, who cannot Command or govern their anger, but grow suddenly furious, and as suddenly pour it forth whether seasonably, or unseasonably they regard not; but God who here threatens Enemies, and comforts his friends, is as much Lord of his Anger, as he is Lord of Power and Wisdom to execute his displeasure in fittest time.

When it is most seasonable he should do it, he most certainly will do it.

This explains the former phrase, Lord of fury, God restrains and keeps in his own anger which grows greater by the sufferings of his people, and sins of his Enemies.
