15 Look, there on the mountains,
    the feet of one who brings good news,(A)
    who proclaims peace!(B)
Celebrate your festivals,(C) Judah,
    and fulfill your vows.
No more will the wicked invade you;(D)
    they will be completely destroyed.[a]

Nineveh to Fall

[b]An attacker(E) advances against you, Nineveh.
    Guard the fortress,
    watch the road,
    brace yourselves,
    marshal all your strength!

The Lord will restore(F) the splendor(G) of Jacob
    like the splendor of Israel,
though destroyers have laid them waste
    and have ruined their vines.
