Nahum 1:9–15

9  What hdo ye imagine against the Lord?

fHe will make an utter end:

Affliction shall not rise up ithe second time.

10  For while they be kfolden together las thorns,

And mwhile they are drunken as drunkards,

nThey shall be devoured as stubble nnfully dry.

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

†oA wicked counseller.

12  Thus saith the Lord;

||Though they be pquiet, and likewise many,

Yet thus qshall they be †cut down, when he shall rpass through.

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

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

And twill burst thy bonds in sunder.

14  And the Lord hath given a commandment concerning thee,

That uno more of thy name be sown:

vOut of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image:

I vwill make thy grave; for wthou art vile.

15  Behold xupon the mountains ythe feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace!

O Judah, †keep thy solemn feasts, zperform thy vows:

For †othe wicked shall no more rapass through thee;

vHe is utterly cut off.
