Nahum 1:9-15

9Whatever you devise against the Lord,

He will make a complete end of it.

Distress will not rise up twice.

10Like tangled thorns,

And like those who are drunken with their drink,

They are consumed

Like stubble completely dried up.

11From you has gone out

One who plotted evil against the Lord,

A wicked counselor.

¹²This is what the Lord says:

“Though they are at full strength and so they are many,

So also 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 from upon you,

And I will tear your shackles to pieces.”

14The Lord has issued a command concerning you:

“Your name will no longer be perpetuated.

I will eliminate the carved image and the cast metal image

From the house of your gods.

I will prepare your grave,

For you are contemptible.”

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

Who announces peace!

Celebrate your feasts, Judah,

Pay your vows.

For never again will the wicked one pass through you;

He is eliminated completely.
