Nahum 1:9-14

Complete Jewish Bible

⁹ What are you planning against Adonai?
He is making an end [of it];
trouble will not arise a second time.
¹⁰ For like men drunk with liquor,
they will be burned up like tangled thorns,
like straw completely dry.
¹¹ Out of you, [Ninveh,] he came,
one who plots evil against Adonai,
who counsels wickedness.

¹² Here is what Adonai says:
“Though they be many and strong,
they will be cut down, they will pass;
and though I have made you suffer,
I will make you suffer no more.
¹³ Now I will break his yoke from your necks
and snap the chains that bind you.

¹⁴ Adonai gave this order concerning you:
you will have no descendants to bear your name;
from the house of your god I will cut off
carved image and cast metal image;
I will prepare your grave,
because you are worthless.”
