Nahum 1:7-12
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 1

7The Lord is good, A stronghold in the day of trouble, And He knows those who take refuge in Him. 8But with an overflowing flood He will make a complete end of its site, And will pursue His enemies into darkness. 9Whatever you devise against the Lord, He will make a complete end of it. Distress will not rise up twice. 10Like tangled thorns, And like those who are drunken with their drink, They are consumed Like stubble completely dried up. 11From you has gone out One who plotted evil against the Lord, A wicked counselor. 12This is what the Lord says: 'Though they are at full strength and so they are many, So also they will be cut off and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no longer.
King James Version

Chapter 1

7The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust in him.
8But with an overrunning flood he will make an utter end of the place thereof, and darkness shall pursue his enemies. 9What do ye imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the Lord, a wicked counsellor. 12Thus saith the Lord; Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down, when he shall pass through. Though I have afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.

Chapter 1

7The Lord is good, a stronghold in a day of distress; he cares for those who take refuge in him.
8But he will completely destroy Nineveh with an overwhelming flood, and he will chase his enemies into darkness. 9Whatever you plot against the Lord, he will bring it to complete destruction; oppression will not rise up a second time. 10For they will be consumed like entangled thorns, like the drink of a drunkard and like straw that is fully dry. 11One has gone out from you, who plots evil against the Lord, and is a wicked counselor.
12This is what the Lord says: Though they are strong and numerous, they will still be mowed down, and he will pass away. Though I have punished you, I will punish you no longer.

9Why are you scheming against the Lord? He will destroy you with one blow; he won’t need to strike twice! 10His enemies, tangled like thornbushes and staggering like drunks, will be burned up like dry stubble in a field. 11Who is this wicked counselor of yours who plots evil against the Lord?
12This is what the Lord says: 'Though the Assyrians have many allies, they will be destroyed and disappear. O my people, I have punished you before, but I will not punish you again.
