7 The Lord is good,a stronghold in the day of distress;and He knows those who take refuge in Him.
8 As a flood running forth,He will bring to an end the distress,and He will pursue His adversaries into darkness.
9 Why do you all scheme against the Lord?He will bring it to an end.It will not rise up a second time.
10 Because they are like interwoven thornsand as drunkards imbibing,they are consumed like completely dry stubble.
11 Out of you, O Nineveh, comes one,a worthless counselor,who devises evil against the Lord.
12 So the Lord says: “Even though they are full and many,they will be cut down, and it will pass away.Even though I have afflicted you,I will no longer afflict you, O Judah;
13 now I will break apart his yoke from over you,and I will tear apart your bonds.”
