Nahum 1:12-14

New International Reader's Version

“His army has many soldiers.
    Other nations are helping them.
    But they will be destroyed and pass away.
Judah, I punished you.
    But I will not do it anymore.
¹³ Now I will break Assyria’s yoke off your neck.
    I will tear off the ropes that hold you.”

¹⁴ Nineveh, the Lord has given an order concerning you.
    He has said, “You will not have any children
    to carry on your name.
I will destroy the wooden and metal statues
    that are in the temple of your gods.
I will get your grave ready for you.
    You are worthless.”
