7The LORD is good,
         A stronghold in the day of trouble,
         And He knows those who take refuge in Him.

8But with an overflowing flood
         He will make a complete end of its site,
         And will pursue His enemies into darkness.

9Whatever you devise against the LORD,
         He will make a complete end of it.
         Distress will not rise up twice.

10Like tangled thorns,
         And like those who are drunken with their drink,
         They are consumed
         As stubble completely withered.

11From you has gone forth
         One who plotted evil against the LORD,
         A wicked counselor.

12Thus says the LORD,
         “Though they are at full strength and likewise many,
         Even so, they will be cut off and pass away.
         Though I have afflicted you,
         I will afflict you no longer.

13“So now, I will break his yoke bar from upon you,
         And I will tear off your shackles.”

14The LORD has issued a command concerning you:
         “Your name will no longer be perpetuated.
         I will cut off idol and image
         From the house of your gods.
         I will prepare your grave,
         For you are contemptible.”

15Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news,
         Who announces peace!
         Celebrate your feasts, O Judah;
         Pay your vows.
         For never again will the wicked one pass through you;
         He is cut off completely.
