Nahum 1:9-15

9Whatever you plot against the Lord, he will bring it to complete destruction; oppression will not rise up a second time.

10For they will be consumed like entangled thorns, like the drink of a drunkard and like straw that is fully dry.

11One has gone out from you, who plots evil against the Lord, and is a wicked counselor.

12This 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.

13For I will now break off his yoke from you and tear off your shackles.

14The Lord has issued an order concerning you: There will be no offspring to carry on your name. I will eliminate the carved idol and cast image from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.

15Look to the mountains — the feet of the herald, who proclaims peace. Celebrate your festivals, Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked one will never again march through you; he will be entirely wiped out.
