9. What do you plot against the Lord,the one about to bring total destruction?No opponent rises a second time!
10. Like a thorny thicket, they are tangled,and like drunkards, they are drunk;like dry stubble, they are utterly consumed.
11. From you has comeone plotting evil against the Lord,one giving sinister counsel.
12. Thus says the Lord:though fully intact and so numerous,they shall be mown down and disappear.Though I have humbled you,I will humble you no more.
13. Now I will break his yoke off of you,and tear off your bonds.
14. The Lord has commanded regarding you:no descendant will again bear your name;From the house of your gods I will abolishthe carved and the molten image;I will make your grave a dung heap.
