Nahum 1:8-14

8But he will sweep away his enemies in an overwhelming flood. He will pursue his foes into the darkness of night.

9Why are you scheming against the Lord? He will destroy you with one blow; he won’t need to strike twice!

10His enemies, tangled like thornbushes and staggering like drunks, will be burned up like dry stubble in a field.

11Who is this wicked counselor of yours who plots evil against the Lord?

12This is what the Lord says: “Though the Assyrians have many allies, they will be destroyed and disappear. O my people, I have punished you before, but I will not punish you again.

13Now I will break the yoke of bondage from your neck and tear off the chains of Assyrian oppression.”

14And this is what the Lord says concerning the Assyrians in Nineveh: “You will have no more children to carry on your name. I will destroy all the idols in the temples of your gods. I am preparing a grave for you because you are despicable!”
