8. Like a great rushing flood he completely destroys his enemies;he sends to their death those who oppose him.
9. What are you plotting against the Lord?He will destroy you.No one opposes him more than once.
10. Like tangled thorns and dry straw,you drunkards will be burnt up!
11. From you, Nineveh, there came someone full of wicked schemes, who plotted against the Lord.
12. This is what the Lord says to his people Israel: “Even though the Assyrians are strong and numerous, they will be destroyed and disappear. My people, I made you suffer, but I will not do it again.
13. I will now end Assyria's power over you and break the chains that bind you.”
