New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Nahum 1
8 But with an overflowing flood He will make a complete end of its site, And will pursue His enemies into darkness.
9 Whatever you devise against the Lord, He will make a complete end of it. Distress will not rise up twice.
10 Like tangled thorns, And like those who are drunken with their drink, They are consumed As stubble completely withered.
11 From you has gone forth One who plotted evil against the Lord, A wicked counselor.
12 Thus says the Lord, "Though they are at full strength and likewise many, Even so, they will be cut off and pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no longer.
13 "So now, I will break his yoke bar from upon you, And I will tear off your shackles."
14 The Lord has issued a command concerning you: "Your name will no longer be perpetuated. I will cut off idol and image From the house of your gods. I will prepare your grave, For you are contemptible."
15 Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; Pay your vows. For never again will the wicked one pass through you; He is cut off completely.
Nahum 2
1 The one who scatters has come up against you. Man the fortress, watch the road; Strengthen your back, summon all your strength.
2 For the Lord will restore the splendor of Jacob Like the splendor of Israel, Even though devastators have devastated them And destroyed their vine branches.
3 The shields of his mighty men are colored red, The warriors are dressed in scarlet, The chariots are enveloped in flashing steel When he is prepared to march, And the cypress spears are brandished.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
