Nahum 1:9-11
New American Standard Bible
9 Whatever you (A)devise against the Lord,
He will make a (B)complete end of it.
Distress will not rise up twice.
10 Like tangled (C)thorns,
And like those who are (D)drunken with their drink,
They are (E)consumed
Like stubble completely dried up.
11 From you has gone out
One who (F)plotted evil against the Lord,
A [a](G)wicked 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]
