Nahum 1:11-13
EasyEnglish Bible
11 The Lord tells the king of Nineveh that he has done bad things against God. And the king has told his people that they should do wrong things.
12 The Lord has said, ‘The people in Nineveh are many. And they think that they are safe. But I will kill them. I have punished you, my people, before now. But I will not punish you any more. 13 Now I will make you free from the people from Nineveh. And I will break the things that are holding you like iron.’

New King James Version
11 From you comes forth one
Who plots evil against the Lord,
A [a]wicked counselor.
12 Thus says the Lord:
“Though they are [b]safe, and likewise many,
Yet in this manner they will be (A)cut down
When he passes through.
Though I have afflicted you,
I will afflict you no more;
13 For now I will break off his yoke from you,
And burst your bonds apart.”
