6. Who can withstand His indignation?Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, even rocks are shattered before Him.
7. The Lord is good,a stronghold in a day of distress;He cares for those who take refuge in Him.
8. But He will completely destroy Nineveh with an overwhelming flood, and He will chase His enemies into darkness.
9. Whatever you plot against the Lord,He will bring it to complete destruction; oppression will not rise up a second time.
10. For they will be consumedlike entangled thorns, like the drink of a drunkardand like straw that is fully dry.
11. One has gone out from you, who plots evil against Yahweh,and is a wicked counselor.
12. This is what the Lord says:Though they are strong and numerous,they will still be mowed down,and he will pass away.Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no longer.
13. For I will now break off his yoke from youand tear off your shackles.
14. The Lord has issued an order concerning you:There will be no offspringto carry on your name. I will eliminate the carved idol and cast imagefrom the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave,for you are contemptible.
15. Look to the mountains —the feet of one bringing good news and proclaiming peace!Celebrate your festivals, Judah;fulfill your vows.For the wicked one will never againmarch through you;he will be entirely wiped out.
