Nahum 1:12-14

New Catholic Bible

No matter how numerous they are,
    no matter how great their strength,
    they will be cut down and pass away.
Even though I have afflicted you,
    I will make you suffer no more.
¹³ Now I will break off their yoke from your neck
    and snap the shackles that bind you.
¹⁴ In regard to you, Nineveh,
    the Lord has decreed
that no more descendants will be born
    to perpetuate your name.
I will remove carved images and sculpted idols
    from the temple of your gods.
And I will prepare your grave,
    for you are worthless.
