Nahum 1:10

Read in context

Nahum 1:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.

9 Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.

10 For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard— like stubble that is fully dry.

11 From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.

12 This is what the LORD says: “Though they are allied and numerous, yet they will be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, O Judah, I will afflict you no longer.
