Nahum 1:9-15 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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.
