Nahum 1:9-11
English Standard Version
9 What (A)do you plot against the Lord?
(B)He will make a complete end;
trouble will not rise up a second time.
10 For they are (C)like entangled thorns,
like drunkards as they drink;
(D)they are consumed like stubble fully dried.
11 From you came one
(E)who plotted evil against the Lord,
a worthless counselor.
Nahum 1:9-11
Common English Bible
A challenge to God’s enemies
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[a] goes out
one who plots evil against the Lord—
a worthless counselor!
