Nahum 1:8-15 ▼

8 But with an ouerrunning flood he wil destroy her place, and will pursue his enemies with darkenesse.

9 What imagine ye against the Lorde? he makes an vtter destruction: ye shall not be troubled twyse.

10 For whyles the thornes cleaue together, and whyles they banquet out their feastes, they are deuoured vp as very drie stubble.

11 There came out of thee such as thought euyll against the Lorde, such as gaue wicked counsell.

12 Thus sayth the Lorde: Though ye be in concorde, and also many, yet so shall ye be cut downe, and passe: & though I haue afflicted thee O Hierusalem yet will I trouble thee no more.

13 And nowe I will breake of his yoke from vpon thee, and I will breake thy bondes in sunder.

14 The Lorde also hath geuen a commaundement touching thee that, there shalbe no more offpring of thy name: from the house of thy God, I will cut of carued and molten image, I will make it thy graue, for thou art vile.

15 Behold vpon the mountaynes the feete of him that bringeth good tidinges, that preacheth peace: kepe thy festiual dayes O Iuda, paye thy vowes: for the wicked tiraunt shal hereafter passe no more through thee, he is vtterly cut of.
