Nahum 2:1-2

Amplified Bible

The Overthrow of Nineveh

2 ^[a]The one who scatters has come up against you [Nineveh].
Man the fortress and ramparts, watch the road;
^[b]Strengthen your back [prepare for battle], summon all your strength.
²
For the Lord will restore the splendor and majesty of Jacob
Like the splendor of [ancient and united] Israel,
Even though destroyers have destroyed them
And ruined their vine branches.^(A)
