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
International Standard Version
9 What are you scheming against the Lord?
He will bring about utter desolation—
adversity will not strike twice!
10 Indeed, while tangled as by a thorn bush,
while drunken as by a strong drink,
the Ninevites[a] will be burned like dry straw.
11 Someone has left you who plans evil against the Lord.
He is a demonic counselor.[b]
