they will be consumed like dry stubble.[b](D)
11 From you, Nineveh, has one come forth
who plots evil against the Lord

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!
