Nahum 1:11-13

Easy-to-Read Version

¹¹ Someone from Nineveh is making evil plans against the Lord.
    That advisor is a worthless troublemaker.
¹² This is what the Lord said:
“The people of Assyria are at full strength.
    They have many soldiers, but they will all be cut down.
    They will all be finished.
My people, I made you suffer,
    but I will make you suffer no more.
¹³ Now I will set you free from the power of Assyria.
    I will take the yoke off your neck
    and tear away the chains holding you.”
