What do you think about the Lord?
He is the one who will bring Nineveh to an end.
This trouble will never happen again.
10 ⌞The people of Nineveh will be⌟ like tangled thorns
and like people drunk on their own drink.
They will be completely burned up like very dry straw.
11 From you, Nineveh, a person who plans evil against the Lord sets out.
His advice is wicked.

10 They will be entangled among thorns(B)
    and drunk(C) from their wine;
    they will be consumed like dry stubble.[b](D)
11 From you, Nineveh, has one come forth
    who plots evil against the Lord
    and devises wicked plans.
