Nineveh Will Fall

12 This is what Yahweh says:
    Though the people of Nineveh are physically fit and many in number,
        they will be cut down and die.
    Though I have humbled you, Judah,

13 But now I will break Nineveh’s yoke[a] off of you
    and tear its chains from you.

Although I have afflicted you, Judah,
    I will afflict you no more.(B)
13 Now I will break their yoke(C) from your neck
    and tear your shackles away.”(D)
