The Divine Warrior Will Attack Nineveh

One who shatters[a] has come up against you!
    Guard the fortification!
        Watch the road![b]
    Gird your loins!
        Muster[c] all your strength!
For Yahweh will restore the majesty of Jacob
    like the majesty of Israel;
for ravagers have ravaged them
    and ruined their branches.
