Nahum 1:8-15 ▼

8 With an inundation passing through he will make a completion of her place, and darkness shall pursue his enemies.

9 What will ye purpose against Jehovah? he made a completion: straits shall not rise up twice.

10 For even to thorns surrounding them, and drinking to excess as drunkards, they shall be devoured as straw fully dried up.

11 From thee shall he come forth purposing evil against Jehovah, a counselor of Belial.

12 Thus said Jehovah: If peace thus many, and thus they were shown and he passed through. And afflicting thee I will afflict thee no more.

13 And now I will break his rod from off thee, and I will tear away thy bonds.

14 And Jehovah commanded concerning thee, of thy name no more shall be sown: from the house of thy God I will cut off the carved image and the molten image: I will set thy grave, for thou wert contemned.

15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him announcing good news, causing peace to be heard. O Judah, keep thy festivals, complete thy vows: for Belial shall no more add to pass through thee: he was completely cut off.
