Nahum 1:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ The Lord is good.
    When people are in trouble,
    they can go to him for safety.
He takes good care of those
    who trust in him.
⁸ But he will destroy Nineveh
    with a powerful flood.
He will chase his enemies
    into the place of darkness.

⁹ The Lord will put an end
    to anything they plan against him.
He won’t allow Assyria to win the battle
    over his people a second time.
