Nahum 1:10

Destruction Of Nineveh

⁹ Whatever you plot against the Lord,
He will bring it to complete destruction;
oppression will not rise up a second time.
¹⁰ For they will be consumed
like entangled thorns,
like the drink of a drunkard
and like straw that is fully dry.
¹¹ One has gone out from you,
who plots evil against Yahweh,
and is a wicked counselor.
