Nahum 1:13 - "Now I will free you from their control and tear away your chains." (NIV - "Now I will break their yoke from your neck and tear your shackles away.") Nahum 1:15 - "The wicked will not come to attack you again; they have been completely destroyed."
God—He is the One! How exciting it will be to see how HE is going to free us! No power of hell, no scheme of man can EVER pluck us from His hand. God is our Deliverer, Refuge and Strength!
In the margins of Jane's (Her Name Was Jane) KJV she has written:
Hosea 4:6–10 - "My people will be destroyed, because they have no knowledge. You have refused to learn, so I will refuse to let you be priests to me. You have forgotten the teachings of your God, so I will forget your children. The more priests there are, the more they sin against me. I will take away their honor and give them shame. Since the priests live off the sin offerings of the people, they want the people to sin more and more. The priests are as wrong as the people, and I will punish them both for what they have done. I will repay them for the wrong they have done. They will eat but not have enough... because they have left the LORD."
I Corinthians 3:10 - "Using the gift God gave me, I laid the foundation of that house like an expert builder. Others are building on that foundation, but all people should be careful how they build on it."
I Corinthians 10: 12–13 - "If you think you are strong, you should be careful not to fall. The only temptation that has come to you is that which everyone has. But you can trust God, who will not permit you to be tempted more than you can stand. But when you are tempted, he will also give you a way to escape so that you will be able to stand it."
II Peter 1:5–10 - "Because you have these blessings, do your best to add these things to your lives: to your faith, add goodness; and to your goodness, add knowledge; and to your knowledge, add self-control; and to your self-control, add patience; and to your patience, add service to God; and to your service to God, add kindness for your brothers and sisters in Christ; and to this kindness, add love. If all these things are in you and are growing, they will help you to be useful and productive in your knowledge of our LORD Jesus Christ. But anyone who does not have these things cannot see clearly. He is blind and has forgotten that he was made clean from his past sins. My brothers and sisters, try hard to be certain that you really are called and chosen by God."
Luke 21:8 - Jesus said, "Be careful so you are not fooled. Many people will come in my name, saying, 'I am the One', and, 'the time has come!' But don't follow them."
Galatians 6:7 - "Do not be fooled: you cannot cheat God. People harvest only what they plant."
Luke 21:34 - "Be careful not to spend your time feasting, drinking, or worrying about worldly things. If you do, that day might come upon you suddenly, like a trap on all people on earth."
Jeremiah 48:10a - "A curse will be on anyone who doesn't do what the LORD says."
Psalm 37:23 - "When a person's steps follow the LORD, God is pleased with his ways."
Ephesians 2:10 - "God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us to do good works, which God planned in advance for us to live our lives doing."
John 13:17 - "If you know these things, you will be happy if you do them."
I Corinthians 15:57–58 - "But we thank God! He gives us the victory through our LORD Jesus Christ. So my dear Brothers and Sisters, stand strong. Do not let anything change you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the LORD, because you know that your work in the LORD is never wasted."
Joshua 1:8 - "Always remember what is written in the Book of the Teachings. Study it day and night to be sure to obey everything that is written there. If you do this, you will be wise and successful in everything." (Only verse that has "success.")
Addendum: 9/30/15 ~ What a blessing it has been to have Jane's Bibles. I love that because of her faithfulness to the LORD, she is still teaching us and impacting our lives to this very day – seven years after her earthly death and the beginning of her eternal life. Her Take Heed! verses are just amazing. We should indeed all take heed. God has clearly laid out the blueprint for successful living. It is up to us to follow it. If we do, He will guide our paths and give us joy in the journey.
I just realized it's September. It's been eight years since Jane told us to read Isaiah 30. Nahum and Isaiah 30 – written 50-100 years apart from each other but with the same basic messages of each other and Jane's "Take Heed."

"God doesn't want people to fail; rather, he gives them opportunities to repent and enter Heaven. But if they persist in sin, they will be punished." ~ Life LessonNahum prophesies about the city of Ninevah. Ninevah—the same town Jonah was sent to. The same town who had accepted Jonah's/God's message and repented and therefore was saved. The same town—100 years later. Their repentance was short lived. They did not pass it down through the generations, and now Nahum is prophesying about God's impending and thorough judgment. Nahum 1:3 - "The LORD does not become angry quickly, and his power is great. The LORD will not let the guilty go unpunished."
"The LORD is good, giving protection in times of trouble. He knows who trusts in him." Nahum 1:7"But, like a rushing flood, he will completely destroy Ninevah. He will pursue his foes into darkness. Whatever they plot against the LORD he will bring to an end... they will be entangled... they will be consumed... it will be defeated and brought to an end." (Nahum 1:8–12)
Nahum 1:13 - "Now I will free you from their control and tear away your chains." (NIV - "Now I will break their yoke from your neck and tear your shackles away.") Nahum 1:15 - "The wicked will not come to attack you again; they have been completely destroyed."
