View Full Chapter

8but with an overwhelming flood he will make an end of Nineveh; he will pursue his foes into the realm of darkness.

9Whatever they plot against the LORD he will bring Or What do you foes plot against the Lord? / He will bring it to an end; trouble will not come a second time.

10They will be entangled among thorns and drunk from their wine; they will be consumed like dry stubble. The meaning of the Hebrew for this verse is uncertain.

11From you, Nineveh, has one come forth who plots evil against the LORD and devises wicked plans.

12This is what the LORD says: “Although they have allies and are numerous, they will be destroyed and pass away. Although I have afflicted you, Judah, I will afflict you no more.

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