Nahum 1:12-14
1599 Geneva Bible
12 Thus saith the Lord, Though they be [a]quiet, and also many, yet thus shall they be cut off when he shall pass by: though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
13 For now I will break his yoke from thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder.
14 And the Lord hath given a commandment concerning thee that no more of thy name be [b]sown: out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven, and the molten image: I will make it thy grave for thee, for thou art vile.
