Nahum 2:1-2

Modern English Version

2 He who scatters has come to you.
    Guard the fortifications!
    Watch the road!
    Prepare yourself,
    and strengthen yourself!

²For the Lord is restoring the prominence of Jacob,
even the prominence of Israel,
for others have certainly
laid waste their vines.

Nahum 2:1-2

New International Version

2 ^[a]An attacker^(A) advances against you, Nineveh.
    Guard the fortress,
    watch the road,
    brace yourselves,
    marshal all your strength!

²The Lord will restore^(B) the splendor^(C) of Jacob
like the splendor of Israel,
though destroyers have laid them waste
and have ruined their vines.
