Nahum 1:9-11
New Living Translation
9 Why are you scheming against the Lord?
He will destroy you with one blow;
he won’t need to strike twice!
10 His enemies, tangled like thornbushes
and staggering like drunks,
will be burned up like dry stubble in a field.
11 Who is this wicked counselor of yours
who plots evil against the Lord?
Nahum 1:9-11

11 From you came one
(E)who plotted evil against the Lord,
a worthless counselor.
