Nahum 1:10-12
Contemporary English Version

10 They are like drunkards
    overcome by wine,
or like twisted thornbushes
    burning in a fire.[a]
11 Assyria, one of your rulers
has made evil plans
    against the Lord.

12 But the Lord says, “Assyria,
no matter how strong you are,
    you will be cut down!
My people Judah,
I have troubled you before,
    but I won't do it again.
