Whatever you[a] plot against the Lord,
he will bring it to complete destruction;(A)
oppression will not rise up a second time.
10 For they will be consumed
like entangled thorns,(B)
like the drink of a drunkard
and like straw that is fully dry.[b]

Yahweh Will Destroy Nineveh

What[a] do you plot against Yahweh?
    He will completely destroy it;[b]
        trouble will not rise up a second time!

    and like their drink which is drunk,
        they will be consumed like fully dry chaff.
