Nahum 1:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 What do ye [a]imagine against the Lord? he will make an utter destruction: affliction shall not rise up the second time.
10 For he shall come as unto [b]thorns folden one in another, and as unto drunkards in their drunken-ness: they shall be devoured as stubble fully dried.
11 There [c]cometh one out of thee that imagineth evil against the Lord, even a wicked counselor.

- Nahum 1:10 Although the Assyrians think themselves like thorns that prick on all sides, yet the Lord will set fire on them, and as drunken men are not able to stand against any force, so they shall be nothing able to resist him.

New International Version
9 Whatever they plot(A) against the Lord
he will bring[a] to an end;
trouble will not come a second time.
10 They will be entangled among thorns(B)
and drunk(C) from their wine;
they will be consumed like dry stubble.[b](D)

who plots evil against the Lord
and devises wicked plans.
