Nahum 1:12-15

12This is what the Lord says: “Though they are at full strength and so they are many, So also they will be 1cut off and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you 2no longer.13So now, I will 3break his yoke from upon you, And I will tear your shackles to pieces.”

14The Lord has issued a command concerning 4you: “5Your name will 6no longer be perpetuated. I will eliminate the 7carved image and the cast metal image From the house of your gods. I will prepare your 8grave, For you are contemptible.”

15 9Behold, 10on the mountains, the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace! 11Celebrate your feasts, Judah, Pay your vows. For 12never again will the 13wicked one pass through you; He is 14eliminated completely.
