Nahum 2:1-2
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 2
The Message of Liberation
1 Behold on the mountains the feet of the herald
who proclaims good news and announces peace.
Celebrate your festivals, O Judah,
and fulfill your vows.
For never again will the wicked invade you;
they will be completely destroyed.
2 The Lord will restore the majesty of Jacob
as well as that of Israel,[a]
even though the plunderers have ravaged them
and destroyed their vines.

- Nahum 2:2 Restore the majesty of Jacob as well as that of Israel: Assyria had destroyed the northern kingdom and its people (2 Ki 17:3-6) and attacked the southern kingdom. Now is the time for all Israel to be renewed and restored!
