Nahum 1:10 Context
8But with an ouer-running flood he will make an vtter ende of the place thereof, and darkenesse shall pursue his enemies. 9What doe ye imagine against the Lord ? he will make an vtter ende: affliction shall not rise vp the second time. 10For while they be folden together as thornes, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be deuoured as stubble fully drie. 11There is one come out of thee, that imagineth euill against the Lord: a wicked counseller. 12Thus saith the Lord, Though they be quiet, and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut downe, when he shall passe through: though I haue afflicted thee, I will afflict thee no more.
