Nahum 1:7-9

New Living Translation

⁷ The Lord is good,
    a strong refuge when trouble comes.
    He is close to those who trust in him.
⁸ But he will sweep away his enemies^[a]
    in an overwhelming flood.
He will pursue his foes
    into the darkness of night.

⁹ Why are you scheming against the Lord?
    He will destroy you with one blow;
    he won’t need to strike twice!
