Why waste time conniving against God?

For troublemakers, no second chances.

Soaked in oil,
  they’ll go up in flames.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

מְקוֹמָ֑⁠הּ

adversaries_of,his

The pronoun its refers to Nineveh. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the city’s name here. Alternate translation: [to Nineveh’s place]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

וְ⁠אֹיְבָ֖י⁠ו יְרַדֶּף־חֹֽשֶׁךְ

and,enemies_of,his pursue darkness

Here, darkness represents all kinds of bad things, and Nahum speaks of it as if it were a person pursuing his enemies. It means that Yahweh will not allow his enemies to escape their punishment. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [his enemies will not escape their punishment]
