Nahum 1:8-14
8But with an 1overflowingH5674 floodH7858 He will makeH6213 a completeH3617 endH3617 of 2its siteH4725, And will pursueH7291 His enemiesH340 into 3darknessH2822.
9WhateverH4100 you 4deviseH2803 againstH413 the LordH3068, He will makeH6213 a 5completeH3617 endH3617 of it. DistressH6869 will not riseH6965 up twiceH6471.10LikeH5704 tangledH5440 6thornsH5518, And like those who are 7drunkenH5433 with their drinkH5435, They are 8consumedH398 As stubbleH7179 completelyH4392 witheredH3002.11From you has goneH3318 forthH3318 One who 9plottedH2803 evilH7463 againstH5921 the LordH3068, A 1011wickedH1100 counselorH3289. 12ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “ThoughH518 they are at fullH8003 strength and likewiseH3651 manyH7227, Even soH3651, they will be 12cutH1494 offH1494 and passH5674 awayH5674. Though I have afflictedH6031 you, I will afflictH6031 you 13noH3808 longerH5750.13So nowH6258, I will 14breakH7665 his yokeH4132 barH4132 from upon you, And I will tearH5423 offH5423 your shacklesH4147.”
14The LordH3068 has issuedH6680 a commandH6680 concerningH5921 15you: “16Your nameH8034 will 17noH3808 longerH5750 be perpetuatedH2232. I will cutH3772 offH3772 1819idolH6459 and 20imageH4541 From the houseH1004 of your godsH430. I will prepareH7760 your 21graveH6913, For you are contemptibleH7043.”
