Nahum 1:9-15

9Whatever you 1devise against the Lord, He will make a 2complete end of it. Distress will not rise up twice.10Like tangled 3thorns, And like those who are 4drunken with their drink, They are 5consumed Like stubble completely dried up.11From you has gone out One who 6plotted evil against the Lord, A 7 8wicked counselor. 12This is what the Lord says: “Though they are at full strength and so they are many, So also they will be 9cut off and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you 10no longer.13So now, I will 11break his yoke from upon you, And I will tear your shackles to pieces.”

14The Lord has issued a command concerning 12you: “13Your name will 14no longer be perpetuated. I will eliminate the 15carved image and the cast metal image From the house of your gods. I will prepare your 16grave, For you are contemptible.”

15 17Behold, 18on the mountains, the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace! 19Celebrate your feasts, Judah, Pay your vows. For 20never again will the 21wicked one pass through you; He is 22eliminated completely.
