Bible in Basic English
"For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry."
— Nahum 1:10, Bible in Basic English
“For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.”
The Lord is good, a strong place in the day of trouble; and he has knowledge of those who take him for their safe cover.
But like water overflowing he will take them away; he will put an end to those who come up against him, driving his haters into the dark.
What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.
For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry.
One has gone out from you who is designing evil against the Lord, whose purposes are of no value.
This is what the Lord has said: The days of my cause against you are ended; they are cut off and past. Though I have sent trouble on you, you will no longer be troubled.
And now I will let his yoke be broken off you, and your chains be parted.
