11 From you, Nineveh, has one come forth

who plots evil against the Lord

and devises wicked plans.

12 This is what the Lord says:

“Although they have allies and are numerous,

they will be destroyed and pass away.

Although I have afflicted you, Judah,

I will afflict you no more.

13 Now I will break their yoke from your neck

and tear your shackles away.”

11 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the Lord,

A wicked counseller.

12 Thus saith the Lord;

Though they be quiet, and likewise many,

Yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through.

Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

13 For now will I break his yoke from off thee,

And will burst thy bonds in sunder.

11 Who is this wicked counselor of yours

who plots evil against the Lord?

12 This is what the Lord says:

“Though the Assyrians have many allies,

O my people, I have punished you before,

but I will not punish you again.

13 Now I will break the yoke of bondage from your neck

and tear off the chains of Assyrian oppression.”

Who plots evil against the Lord,

13 For now I will break off his yoke from you,

And burst your bonds apart.”

11 Someone has come from Nineveh

who makes evil plans against the Lord

and gives wicked advice.

12 This is what the Lord says:

“Although Assyria is strong and has many people,

it will be defeated and brought to an end.

Although I have made you suffer, Judah,

I will make you suffer no more.

13 Now I will free you from their control

and tear away your chains.”

11 There is one gone forth out of thee, that deviseth evil against Jehovah, that counselleth wickedness. 12 Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more. 13 And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.

11 Out of thee is gone forth one that imagineth evil against Jehovah, a wicked counsellor. 12 Thus saith Jehovah: Though they be complete in number, and many as they be, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away; and though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more. 13 And now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds asunder.

11 From you, Nineveh, a person who plans evil against the Lord sets out. 

His advice is wicked. 

12 This is what the Lord says: 

Though the people of Nineveh are physically fit and many in number,

I will not humble you again. 

13 But now I will break Nineveh’s yokeoff of you 

and tear its chains from you.

who plots evil against Yahweh,

and is a wicked counselor.

12 This is what the Lord says:

Though they are strong and numerous,

and he will pass away.

Though I have afflicted you,

and tear off your shackles.

11 From you one has gone out
