Whatever they plot(A) against the Lord
    he will bring[a] to an end;
    trouble will not come a second time.
10 They will be entangled among thorns(B)
    and drunk(C) from their wine;
    they will be consumed like dry stubble.[b](D)
11 From you, Nineveh, has one come forth
    who plots evil against the Lord
    and devises wicked plans.
