Nahum 1:7-10
The Message

7-10 God is good,
    a hiding place in tough times.
He recognizes and welcomes
    anyone looking for help,
No matter how desperate the trouble.
    But cozy islands of escape
He wipes right off the map.
    No one gets away from God.
Why waste time conniving against God?
    He’s putting an end to all such scheming.
For troublemakers, no second chances.
    Like a pile of dry brush,
Soaked in oil,
    they’ll go up in flames.

Nahum 1:7-10
New International Version

7 The Lord is good,(A)
    a refuge in times of trouble.(B)
He cares for(C) those who trust in him,(D)
8     but with an overwhelming flood(E)
he will make an end of Nineveh;
    he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.

9 Whatever they plot(F) against the Lord
    he will bring[a] to an end;
    trouble will not come a second time.
10 They will be entangled among thorns(G)
    and drunk(H) from their wine;
    they will be consumed like dry stubble.[b](I)
