Bible verse
But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.
Nahum 1:8 · BSB
The verses around it, from Nahum 1.
4 He rebukes the sea and dries it up; He makes all the rivers run dry. Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon wilts.
5 The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt away; the earth trembles at His presence—the world and all its dwellers.
6 Who can withstand His indignation? Who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; even rocks are shattered before Him.
7 The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of distress; He cares for those who trust in Him.
8 But with an overwhelming flood He will make an end of Nineveh and pursue His enemies into darkness.
9 Whatever you plot against the LORD, He will bring to an end. Affliction will not rise up a second time.
10 For they will be entangled as with thorns and consumed like the drink of a drunkard—like stubble that is fully dry.
11 From you, O Nineveh, comes forth a plotter of evil against the LORD, a counselor of wickedness.
12 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.
