Nahum 1:9–15

9 kWhat do you 3conspire against the Lord?

lHe will make an utter end of it.

Affliction will not rise up a second time.

10 For while tangled mlike thorns,

nAnd while drunken like drunkards,

oThey shall be devoured like stubble fully dried.

11 From you comes forth one

Who plots evil against the Lord,

A 4wicked counselor.

12 Thus says the Lord:

“Though they are 5safe, and likewise many,

Yet in this manner they will be pcut 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.”

14 The Lord has given a command concerning you:

6“Your name shall be perpetuated no longer.

Out of the house of your gods

I will cut off the carved image and the molded image.

I will dig your qgrave,

For you are rvile.” 7

15 Behold, on the mountains

The sfeet of him who brings good tidings,

Who proclaims peace!

O Judah, keep your appointed feasts,

Perform your vows.

For the 8wicked one shall no more pass through you;

He is tutterly cut off.
