Nahum 1:9-11
Amplified Bible
9
Whatever [plot] you [Assyrians] devise against the Lord,
He will make a complete end of it;
Affliction [of God’s people by the hand of Assyria] will not occur twice.
10
Like tangled thorn branches [gathered for fuel],
And like those drowned in drunkenness,
[a]The people of Nineveh are consumed [through fire]
Like stubble completely withered and dry [in the day of the Lord’s wrath].(A)
11
From you [O Nineveh],
One has gone forth who plotted evil against the Lord,
A malevolent [b]counselor [the king of Assyria].(B)
