Nahum 1:10–11

10 For they are like entangled thorns,

like drunkards as they drink;

they are consumed like stubble fully dried.

11 From you came one

who plotted evil against the Lord,

a worthless counselor.

10 For while they be folden together as thorns,

And while they are drunken as drunkards,

They shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

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

A wicked counseller.

10 His enemies, tangled like thornbushes

and staggering like drunks,

will be burned up like dry stubble in a field.

11 Who is this wicked counselor of yours

who plots evil against the Lord?

10 For while tangled like thorns,

And while drunken like drunkards,

They shall be devoured like stubble fully dried.

11 From you comes forth one

Who plots evil against the Lord,

A wicked counselor.

10 Those people will be like tangled thorns

or like people drunk from their wine;

they will be burned up quickly like dry weeds.

11 Someone has come from Nineveh

who makes evil plans against the Lord

and gives wicked advice.

10 For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly as dry stubble. 11 There is one gone forth out of thee, that deviseth evil against Jehovah, that counselleth wickedness.

10 Though they be tangled together as thorns, and be as drenched from their drink, they shall be devoured as dry stubble, completely. 11 Out of thee is gone forth one that imagineth evil against Jehovah, a wicked counsellor.

10 ⸤The people of Nineveh will be⸥ like tangled thorns 

and like people drunk on their own drink. 

They will be completely burned up like very dry straw. 

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

His advice is wicked. 

10 For they will be consumed

like entangled thorns,

like the drink of a drunkard

and like straw that is fully dry.

11 One has gone out from you,

who plots evil against Yahweh,

and is a wicked counselor.

10 Like thorns they are entangled;

like drunkards they are drunk;

they are consumed like dry straw.

11 From you one has gone out

who plots evil against the Lord,

one who counsels wickedness.

10 For like entangled thorns,

and like their drink which is drunk,

they will be consumed like fully dry chaff.

11 From you goes out one who plots evil against Yahweh,

one who plans wickedness.

10 His enemies will be tangled up among thorns.

Their wine will make them drunk.

They’ll be burned up like dry straw.

11 Nineveh, a king has marched out from you.

He makes evil plans against the Lord.

He gives harmful advice.

10 Like tangled thorns,

And like those who are drunken with their drink,

They are consumed

As stubble completely withered.

11 From you has gone forth

One who plotted evil against the Lord,

A wicked counselor.
