8. But with an overwhelming flood He makes a complete end of the place of Ninewĕh, and darkness does pursue His enemies.
9. What do you plot against יהוה? He makes a complete end of it. Distress does not rise up a second time.
10. Though they are as entangled thorns, and as drunkards with their drink, they shall be consumed like stubble thoroughly dried.
11. From you came forth one who plots evil against יהוה, a counsellor of Beliya‛al.
12. Thus said יהוה, “Though they are strong and many, even so, they shall be cut off and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I afflict you no more.
13. “So now I break his yoke from you, and tear off your shackles.”
14. And יהוה has commanded concerning you, “Your name shall no longer be sown. From the house of your mighty ones I shall cut off the carved image and the moulded image. I shall appoint your grave, for you have been of no account.”
15. See, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who proclaims peace! O Yehuḏah, observe your festivals, perform your vows. For Beliya‛al shall no more pass through you. He has been cut off completely.
