Nahum 1:9-15

Expanded Bible

⁹ The Lord will completely destroy
    ·anyone making plans [or whatever you plot/conspire] against him.
    Trouble will not come a second time.
¹⁰ Those people will be ·like tangled [or entangled among] thorns
    or like people drunk from their wine;
    they will be ·burned up quickly [consumed] like ·dry weeds [stubble].
¹¹ Someone has come from ·Nineveh [^Lyou]
    who ·makes evil plans [plots evil] against the Lord
    and gives wicked ·advice [counsel; strategy].
¹² This is what the Lord says:
“Although Assyria ·is strong [or has allies] and has many people,
    it will be ·defeated [destroyed] and ·brought to an end [pass away].
Although I have ·made you suffer, Judah [^Lafflicted you],
    I will ·make you suffer [afflict you] no more.
¹³ Now I will ·free you from their control [^Lbreak his yoke from you]
    and tear away your ·chains [shackles].”

¹⁴ The Lord has given you this command, Nineveh:
    “You will not have ·descendants [^Lseed] to carry on your name.
I will ·destroy [^Lcut off] the ·idols [carved images] and metal images
    that are in the ·temple [^Lhouse] of your gods.
I will ·make [prepare] a grave for you,
    because you are ·wicked [vile; despicable].”

¹⁵ Look, there on the ·hills [mountains],
    ·someone is [^Lthe feet of one] bringing good news [Is. 52:7]!
    He is announcing peace!
Celebrate your ·feasts [festivals], people of Judah,
    and ·give your promised sacrifices to God [^Lfulfill your vows].
The wicked will not come to attack you again;
    they have been completely ·destroyed [^Lcut off].
