Nahum 1:9

Read in context

Nahum 1:7–11 · Berean Standard Bible

7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.

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.
