Nahum 1:7-11

Common English Bible

⁷ The Lord is good,
        a haven in a day of distress.
    He acknowledges those who take refuge in him.
⁸ With a rushing flood, he will utterly destroy her^[a] place
        and pursue his enemies into darkness.

⁹ What are you plotting against the Lord?
        He is one who can annihilate!
        Distress will not arise twice.
¹⁰ They are tangled up like thorns,
        like drunkards in their cups.
    They are consumed like stubble
        that is entirely dried up.
¹¹ From you^[b] goes out
        one who plots evil against the Lord—
            a worthless counselor!
