Nahum 2:1-3

New Catholic Bible

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.
³ A destroying enemy is advancing against you;
    guard the ramparts.
Keep watch on the road,
    gird your loins,
and prepare to exert
    every last ounce of courage.
