Nahum 1:10-12
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
10 For [the Ninevites] are as bundles of thorn branches [for fuel], and even while drowned in their drunken [carousing] they shall be consumed like stubble fully dry [in the day of the Lord’s wrath].(A)
11 There is one gone forth out of you [O Nineveh] who plots evil against the Lord, a villainous [a]counselor [the king of Assyria, who counsels for wickedness and worthlessness].(B)
12 Thus says the Lord: Though they be in full strength and likewise many, even so shall [the Assyrians] be cut down when [their evil counselor] shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you [Jerusalem], I will not cause you to be afflicted [for your past sins] any more.(C)
