New International Version

Nahum 1:11-15 New International Version (NIV)

11. From you, Nineveh, has one come forth who plots evil against the Lord and devises wicked plans.

12. This is what the Lord says: “Although they have allies and are numerous, they will be destroyed and pass away. Although I have afflicted you, Judah, I will afflict you no more.

13. Now I will break their yoke from your neck and tear your shackles away.”

14. The Lord has given a command concerning you, Nineveh: “You will have no descendants to bear your name. I will destroy the images and idols that are in the temple of your gods. I will prepare your grave, for you are vile.”

15. Look, there on the mountains, the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your festivals, Judah, and fulfill your vows. No more will the wicked invade you; they will be completely destroyed.
