10 Those people will be ·like tangled [or entangled among] thorns
    or like people drunk from their wine;
    they will be ·burned up quickly [consumed] like ·dry weeds [stubble].
11 Someone has come from ·Nineveh [L you]
    who ·makes evil plans [plots evil] against the Lord
    and gives wicked ·advice [counsel; strategy].

“Although Assyria ·is strong [or has allies] and has many people,
    it will be ·defeated [destroyed] and ·brought to an end [pass away].
Although I have ·made you suffer, Judah [L afflicted you],
    I will ·make you suffer [afflict you] no more.
