; He cares
for
those
who
trust
in Him.

dry.

thorns ,

as
with
their
drink ,

as
dry stubble

From
you,
O
Nineveh,
comes
forth a
plotter
of evil against the
LORD
, a
counselor
of
wickedness.

is
one
gone
forth out
of thee,
that
deviseth
evil against Jehovah
, that
counselleth
wickedness.
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “
Though they are
allied
and numerous
, yet
they will
be cut down and pass away. Though I have afflicted you,
O
Judah
, I will afflict you
no longer
.
Thus
saith
Jehovah
: Though they be
in
full
strength,
and likewise
many
, even
so
shall
they be cut down ,
and he
shall
pass away. Though I have afflicted thee
, I will afflict thee
no more
.
For
I
will
now break their
yoke from your
neck
and tear
away
your
shackles
. ”
And
now will
I
break his
yoke from off
thee,
and will
burst
thy
bonds
in
sunder
.
The
LORD
has
issued
a
command
concerning you
, O
Nineveh:
“There
will
be
no descendants
to
carry
on
your
name .
I
will cut off the carved
image and cast
idol
from
the house
of
your
gods
; I will prepare
your
grave ,
for you
are
contemptible
. ”
And
Jehovah
hath
given
commandment
concerning thee
, that
no more
of
thy
name be
sown:
out
of
the
house
of
thy
gods
will I
cut off the graven
image and the molten
image
; I will make
thy
grave ;
for thou
art
vile
.
Look
to
the mountains —
the feet of one
who
brings
good news
, who
proclaims
peace! Celebrate
your
feasts, O Judah ;
fulfill
your
vows .
For the wicked will
never
again
march
through you
; they
will
be
utterly cut off.
Behold,
upon
the mountains the feet of him
that
bringeth
good tidings
, that
publisheth
peace! Keep
thy
feasts, O Judah ,
perform
thy
vows ;
for the wicked one
shall
no
more
pass
through thee
; he
is
utterly cut off.
