Nahum 1:12-15
Common English Bible

Reassurance for God’s people

12 The Lord proclaims:
Though once they were a healthy and numerous force,
        they have been cut off and have disappeared.
I have afflicted you;
        I won’t afflict you further, Zion.[a]
13 Now I will break off his yoke from you
        and tear off your chains.

Assyrian king’s future doom

14 The Lord has commanded concerning you:
        You will have no children to carry on your name.
    I will remove carved idol and cast image from the house of your gods;
        I will make your grave, for you are worthless.
15 [b] Look, on the mountains: the feet of a messenger who announces peace!
        Celebrate your festivals, Judah!
            Fulfill your solemn promises!
    The worthless one will never again invade you;
        he has been completely cut off.

Nahum 1:12-15
New International Version

12 This is what the Lord says:

“Although they have allies and are numerous,
    they will be destroyed(A) and pass away.
Although I have afflicted you, Judah,
    I will afflict you no more.(B)
13 Now I will break their yoke(C) from your neck
    and tear your shackles away.”(D)

14 The Lord has given a command concerning you, Nineveh:
    “You will have no descendants to bear your name.(E)
I will destroy the images(F) and idols
    that are in the temple of your gods.
I will prepare your grave,(G)
    for you are vile.”

15 Look, there on the mountains,
    the feet of one who brings good news,(H)
    who proclaims peace!(I)
Celebrate your festivals,(J) Judah,
    and fulfill your vows.
No more will the wicked invade you;(K)
    they will be completely destroyed.[a]
