Nahum 1:10

Destruction Of Nineveh

⁹ Whatever you devise against the Lord,
He will make a complete end of it.
Distress will not rise up twice.
¹⁰ Like tangled thorns,
And like those who are drunken with their drink,
They are consumed
As stubble completely withered.
¹¹ From you has gone forth
One who plotted evil against the Lord,
A wicked counselor.
