9 Whatever you[a] plot against the Lord,
he will bring it to complete destruction;(A)
oppression will not rise up a second time.
10 For they will be consumed
like entangled thorns,(B)
like the drink of a drunkard
and like straw that is fully dry.[b]
11 One has gone out from you,[c]
who plots evil against the Lord,
and is a wicked counselor.

9 What are you scheming against the Lord?
He will bring about utter desolation—
adversity will not strike twice!
10 Indeed, while tangled as by a thorn bush,
while drunken as by a strong drink,
the Ninevites[a] will be burned like dry straw.
11 Someone has left you who plans evil against the Lord.
He is a demonic counselor.[b]
