Nahum 1:11-13

Amplified Bible

¹¹
From you [O Nineveh],
One has gone forth who plotted evil against the Lord,
A malevolent ^[a]counselor [the king of Assyria].^(A)

¹²This is what the Lord says,

“Though they are at full strength and many in number,
Even so, they will be cut off and pass away.
Though I have afflicted you and caused you grief [O Jerusalem],
I will afflict you no longer.^(B)
¹³
“Now, I will break his yoke [of taxation] off you,
And I will tear off your shackles.”^(C)
