9Whatever you plot against the LORD,
He will bring to an end.
Affliction will not rise up
a second time.
10For they will be entangled as with thorns
and consumed like the drink of a drunkard —
like stubble that is fully dry.
11From you, O Nineveh, comes forth
a plotter of evil against the LORD,
a counselor of wickedness.
12This is what the LORD says:
“Though they are allied and numerous,
yet they will be cut down and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you, O Judah,
I will afflict you no longer.
13For I will now break their yoke from your neck
and tear away your shackles.”
— Nahum 1:9-13
