8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness. 9 Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time. 10 For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard—like stubble that is fully dry. 11 From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness. 12 This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer. 13 For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.” 14 The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.” 15 Look to the mountains—the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off. Nahum 1:8-15, Majority Standard Bible. Public domain.
