Nahum 1:12–13

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.

Now I will break their yoke from your neck

and tear your shackles away.”

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 punished you,

I will punish you no longer.

For I will now break off his yoke from you

and tear off your shackles.

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.

Now I will break the yoke of bondage from your neck

and tear off the chains of Assyrian oppression.”

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.

And now, I will break his yoke from upon you;

I will snap your bonds.”

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.

For now will I break his yoke from off thee,

And will burst thy bonds in sunder.
