Nahum 1:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ Why do you all scheme against the Lord?
    He will bring it to an end.
    It will not rise up a second time.
¹⁰ Because they are like interwoven thorns
    and as drunkards imbibing,
    they are consumed like completely dry stubble.
¹¹ Out of you, O Nineveh, comes one,
    a worthless counselor,
    who devises evil against the Lord.
