Nahum 1:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ What do you devise and [how mad is your attempt to] plot against the Lord? He will make a full end [of Nineveh]; affliction [which My people shall suffer from Assyria] shall not rise up the second time.

¹⁰ For [the Ninevites] are as bundles of thorn branches [for fuel], and even while drowned in their drunken [carousing] they shall be consumed like stubble fully dry [in the day of the Lord’s wrath].^(A)

¹¹ There is one gone forth out of you [O Nineveh] who plots evil against the Lord, a villainous ^[a]counselor [the king of Assyria, who counsels for wickedness and worthlessness].^(B)
