Nahum 1:12-14

Contemporary English Version

¹² But the Lord says, “Assyria,
no matter how strong you are,
    you will be cut down!
My people Judah,
I have troubled you before,
    but I won't do it again.
¹³ I'll snap your chains
and set you free
    from the Assyrians.”

¹⁴ Assyria, this is what else
    the Lord says to you:
“Your name will be forgotten.
I will destroy every idol
    in your temple,
and I will send you to the grave,
    because you are worthless.”
