Nahum records a decree against Nineveh that includes cutting off carved images and metal images. The verse also says God will make Nineveh’s grave, describing the city’s final disgrace (Nahum 1:14).
In Nahum 1:14 Yahweh announces a fixed decision against “you,” addressed to Nineveh/Assyria: its name will not continue through future offspring, its cult objects will be removed from its own temple sphere, and its end will be humiliating rather than honored. This line stands within Nahum’s opening announcement of judgment on Nineveh (Nahum 1), where the prophet contrasts the power of Yahweh with the apparent security of the Assyrian capital. The immediate neighborhood (1:9–15) tightens toward a verdict: Nineveh’s plots will not succeed, and its dominance will be broken.
Nahum 1:14 presents Yahweh as announcing a settled decision against “you,” in context aimed at Nineveh/Assyria. The verse treats Nineveh’s future as closed: its “name” will not continue through descendants, its religious objects will be removed from “the house of your gods,” and its end will be humiliating (“I will make your grave”) rather than honored.
A careful answer keeps the immediate passage, the book's argument, and the whole-Bible storyline together, so the question is answered in context instead of as a detached idea.

14Yahweh has commanded concerning you, that no more descendants bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile.
