Nahum 1:8-15 ▼

8 And with an overflowing flood, He will make a complete end of her place, and His enemies will pursue darkness.

9 What are you? plotting against YHWH? He will make a complete end; distress will not rise up a second time.

10 For as with thorns, they will be entangled, and like their drink becoming drunk, they are consumed like stubble fully dry.

11 From you came forth one devising evil plots against YHWH, a counselor of wickedness.

12 Thus says YHWH: “Though they are full and likewise numerous, so will they be cut down and will pass away. And I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.

13 And now I will break off his yoke from upon you, and your bonds I will tear away.”

14 And YHWH has given a command concerning you: “No longer will be sown forth of your name; from the house of your gods I will cut off the carved image and the molten image; I will dig your grave, for you are of little account.”

15 Behold, on the mountains, the feet of one bringing good news, announcing peace. Celebrate, O Judah, your feasts; fulfill your vows; for the worthless one will continue no more to pass through you; all of him has been cut off!
