The Lord 's Anger Against Nineveh (Nahum 1)

Today I'm reading Nahum. (It's an assignment)
Who can withstand his indignation? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured out like fire; the rocks are shattered before him.
The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in him,
but with an overwhelming flood he will make an end of Nineveh ; he will pursue his foes into darkness.
Whatever they plot against the LORD he [
a] will bring to an end; trouble will not come a second time.

What does it mean,'trouble will not come a second time'? Cuz, when you think about it, they can't do anything against God, unless it would be false idols or something.

This is what the LORD says: "Although they have allies and are numerous, they will be cut off and pass away.

This is God demonstrating how great he is, cuz apparently the Ninevites don't know much about God

The LORD has given a command concerning you, Nineveh : "You will have no descendants to bear your name. I will destroy the carved images and cast idols that are in the temple of your gods. I will prepare your grave, for you are vile."
