Nahum

Nahum 1:8–10

8But with an overwhelming flood

He will make an end of Nineveha

and pursue His enemies into darkness.

9Whatever you plot against the LORD,

He will bring to an end.

Affliction will not rise up

a second time.

10For they will be entangled as with thorns

and consumed like the drink of a drunkard —

like stubble that is fully dry.
