The Lord is good, a safe place in times of trouble. And He knows those who come to Him to be safe. But He will put an end to Nineveh by making a flood flow over it. And He will drive those who hate Him into darkness.

Whatever plan you make against the Lord, He will destroy it. Trouble will not come a second time.
