Nahum 1:8-10

New Living Translation

⁸ But he will sweep away his enemies^[a]
    in an overwhelming flood.
He will pursue his foes
    into the darkness of night.

⁹ Why are you scheming against the Lord?
    He will destroy you with one blow;
    he won’t need to strike twice!
¹⁰ His enemies, tangled like thornbushes
    and staggering like drunks,
    will be burned up like dry stubble in a field.
