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

14 Yahweh has given this command about you, Nineveh:
    You will no longer have descendants to carry on your name.
    I will remove the wooden and metal idols from the temple of your gods.
    I will prepare your grave because you are worthless.[b]

An Army Will Conquer Nineveh

15 There on the mountains are the feet of a messenger
    who announces the good news: “All is well!”
    Celebrate your festivals, Judah! Keep your vows!
    This wickedness will never pass your way again.
        It will be completely removed.
