Nahum 2:1
Douay-Rheims
He is come up that shall destroy before thy face, that shall keep the siege: watch the way, fortify thy loins, strengthen thy power exceedingly.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
The city of Ninive is addressed. A powerful enemy advances to lay siege to her. " The discourse," says St. Jerome, "is now turned to Ninive, to whom the prophet says : Nabuchodonosor is going up to besiege thee, to devastate thy lands in thy sight, to hunt down the husbandmen, spread desolation over the country, and keep thee also shut up."
