Nahum 1:9-15

9 What do ye imagine against the LORD? he will make an utter end: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
11 There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked[a] counsellor .
12 Thus saith the LORD; Though they be quiet,[b] 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.
13 For now will I break his yoke from off thee, and will burst thy bonds in sunder .
14 And the LORD hath given a commandment concerning thee, that no more of thy name be sown : out of the house of thy gods will I cut off the graven image and the molten image: I will make thy grave; for thou art vile .
15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings , that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep[c] thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off .
