⁹ 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.

“Although they have allies and are numerous,
    they will be destroyed^(E) and pass away.
Although I have afflicted you, Judah,
    I will afflict you no more.^(F)
13 Now I will break their yoke^(G) from your neck
    and tear your shackles away.”^(H)

¹⁴ The Lord has given a command concerning you, Nineveh:
    “You will have no descendants to bear your name.^(I)
I will destroy the images^(J) and idols
    that are in the temple of your gods.
I will prepare your grave,^(K)
    for you are vile.”
