Nahum 1:9–15

9 Whatever you adevise against the Lord,

He will make a bcomplete end of it.

Distress will not rise up twice.

10 Like tangled athorns,

And like those who are bdrunken with their drink,

They are cconsumed

As stubble completely withered.

11 From you has gone forth

One who aplotted evil against the Lord,

A 1bwicked counselor.

12 Thus says the Lord,

“Though they are at full strength and likewise many,

Even so, they will be acut off and pass away.

Though I have afflicted you,

I will afflict you bno longer.

13 “So now, I will abreak his yoke bar from upon you,

And I will tear off your shackles.”

14 The Lord has issued a command concerning 1you:

“2Your name will ano longer be perpetuated.

I will cut off 3bidol and 4image

From the house of your gods.

I will prepare your cgrave,

For you are contemptible.”

15 1Behold, aon the mountains the feet of him who brings good news,

Who announces peace!

bCelebrate your feasts, O Judah;

Pay your vows.

For cnever again will the 2wicked one pass through you;

He is dcut off completely.
