Nahum 1:12–13

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.”

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.

12 This is what the Lord says:

“Though the Assyrians have many allies,

they will be destroyed and disappear.

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.”

12 Thus says the Lord:

“Though they are safe, and likewise many,

Yet in this manner they will be cut down

When he passes through.

Though I have afflicted you,

I will afflict you no more;

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

And burst your bonds apart.”

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.”

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.

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.

12 This is what the Lord says: 

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

they will be cut down and die. 

Though I have humbled you, Judah, 

I will not humble you again. 

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

and tear its chains from you. 

12 This is what the Lord says:

Though they are strong and numerous,

they will still be mowed down,

and he will pass away.

Though I have afflicted you,

I will afflict you no longer.

13 For I will now break off his yoke from you

and tear off your shackles.

12 Thus says the Lord:

Though they are at full strength and many,

they will be cut off and pass away.

Though I have afflicted you,

I will afflict you no more.

13 And now I will break off his yoke from you

and snap the bonds that bind you.

12 Yahweh says this:

“Even though they are powerful 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 And now, I will break his yoke from upon you;

I will snap your bonds.”

12 The Lord says,

“His army has many soldiers.

Other nations are helping them.

But they will be cut off and pass away.

Judah, I punished you.

But I will not do it anymore.

13 Now I will break Assyria’s yoke off your neck.

I will tear off the ropes that hold you.”

12 Thus says the Lord,

“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 tear off your shackles.”
