11 The Lord tells the king of Nineveh that he has done bad things against God. And the king has told his people that they should do wrong things.

12 The Lord has said, ‘The people in Nineveh are many. And they think that they are safe. But I will kill them. I have punished you, my people, before now. But I will not punish you any more. 13 Now I will make you free from the people from Nineveh. And I will break the things that are holding you like iron.’

11 From you, Nineveh, has one come forth
    who plots evil against the Lord
    and devises wicked plans.

12 This is what the Lord says:

“Although they have allies and are numerous,
    they will be destroyed(A) and pass away.
Although I have afflicted you, Judah,
    I will afflict you no more.(B)
13 Now I will break their yoke(C) from your neck
    and tear your shackles away.”(D)
