Nahum 1:12

Read in context

Nahum 1:10–14 · Berean Standard Bible

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.

13 For I will now break their yoke from your neck and tear away your shackles.”

14 The LORD has issued a command concerning you, O Nineveh: “There will be no descendants to carry on your name. I will cut off the carved image and cast idol from the house of your gods; I will prepare your grave, for you are contemptible.”
