Nahum 1:9-12

JPS_ASV_Byz(i) 9 What do ye devise against the LORD? He will make a full end; trouble shall not rise up the second time. 10 For though they be like tangled thorns, and be drunken according to their drink, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry. 11 Out of thee came he forth, that deviseth evil against the LORD, that counselleth wickedness. 12 Thus saith the LORD: Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so shall they be cut down, and he shall pass away; and though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
