Nahum 1:8-15 ▼

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

9 Whatever you devise against Yahweh, He will make a complete destruction of it. Distress will not rise up twice.

10 Like tangled thorns, And like those who are drunken with their drink, They are consumed As stubble fully dried up.

11 From you has gone forth One who devised evil against Yahweh, A vile counselor.

12 Thus says Yahweh, “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 break your bands apart.”

14 And Yahweh has commanded concerning you: “There will no longer be seed from your name. From the house of your gods, I will cut off graven image and molten image. I will prepare your grave, For you are contemptible.”

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