7. The Lord is good,a stronghold in a day of distress;He cares for those who take refuge in Him.
8. But He will completely destroy Nineveh with an overwhelming flood, and He will chase His enemies into darkness.
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 consumedlike entangled thorns, like the drink of a drunkardand like straw that is fully dry.
11. One has gone out from you, who plots evil against Yahweh,and is a wicked counselor.
12. This is what the Lord says:Though they are strong and numerous,they will still be mowed down,and he will pass away.Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no longer.
