Nahum 1:9-11
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Nineveh’s Judgment and Judah’s Restoration
9 What do you plot against the Lord,
the one about to bring total destruction?
No opponent rises a second time!
10 [a]Like a thorny thicket, they are tangled,
and like drunkards, they are drunk;
like dry stubble, they are utterly consumed.
11 From you has come
one plotting evil against the Lord,
one giving sinister counsel.[b]
Nahum 1:9-11
New International Version
9 Whatever they plot(A) against the Lord
he will bring[a] to an end;
trouble will not come a second time.
10 They will be entangled among thorns(B)
and drunk(C) from their wine;
they will be consumed like dry stubble.[b](D)
11 From you, Nineveh, has one come forth
who plots evil against the Lord
and devises wicked plans.
