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.
13 For I will now break off his yoke from youand tear off your shackles.
