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.

The Fall of Nineveh

[a]Your enemy is coming to crush you, Nineveh.
    Man the ramparts! Watch the roads!
    Prepare your defenses! Call out your forces!

Even though the destroyer has destroyed Judah,
    the Lord will restore its honor.
Israel’s vine has been stripped of branches,
    but he will restore its splendor.
