There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the LORD, a wicked counsellor.
There is one come out of thee, that imagineth evil against the Lord - the cause of Nineveh's overthrow; Sennacherib's plots against Judah.
Out of thee - O Nineveh. From thyself shall arise the source of thy own ruin. Thou shalt have only thyself to blame for it.
Imagineth evil. Sennacherib carried out the imaginations of his countrymen against the Lord and His people (Nahum 1:9, "What do ye imagine against the Lord?" 2 Kings 19:22-23).
A wicked counselor - literally, 'a counselor of Belial.' Belial means without profit [compounded of bªliy (H1097), without, and yaa`al (H3276), profit], worthless, and so bad (1 Samuel 25:25; 2 Corinthians 6:15).
