Nahum 1:13

Read in context

Nahum 1:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

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.”

15 Look to the mountains— the feet of one who brings good news, who proclaims peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; fulfill your vows. For the wicked will never again march through you; they will be utterly cut off.
