11. From you, Nineveh, there came someone full of wicked schemes, who plotted against the Lord.
12. This is what the Lord says to his people Israel: “Even though the Assyrians are strong and numerous, they will be destroyed and disappear. My people, I made you suffer, but I will not do it again.
13. I will now end Assyria's power over you and break the chains that bind you.”
14. This is what the Lord has decreed about the Assyrians: “They will have no descendants to carry on their name. I will destroy the idols that are in the temples of their gods. I am preparing a grave for the Assyrians — they don't deserve to live!”
