Nahum 1:9-11
New American Standard Bible
9 Whatever you (A)devise against the Lord,
He will make a (B)complete end of it.
Distress will not rise up twice.
10 Like tangled (C)thorns,
And like those who are (D)drunken with their drink,
They are (E)consumed
Like stubble completely dried up.
11 From you has gone out
One who (F)plotted evil against the Lord,
A [a](G)wicked counselor.
