Nahum 1:9-11

Amplified Bible

⁹ 
Whatever [plot] you [Assyrians] devise against the Lord,
He will make a complete end of it;
Affliction [of God’s people by the hand of Assyria] will not occur twice.
¹⁰ 
Like tangled thorn branches [gathered for fuel],
And like those drowned in drunkenness,
^[a]The people of Nineveh are consumed [through fire]
Like stubble completely withered and dry [in the day of the Lord’s wrath].^(A)
11 
From you [O Nineveh],
One has gone forth who plotted evil against the Lord,
A malevolent ^[b]counselor [the king of Assyria].^(B)
