King James Version

Nahum 1:9-13

9What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.

10For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.

11There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the Lord, a wicked counsellor.1

12Thus saith the Lord; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.2 3

13For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
