Nahum 2:1, 8
1 He who scatters has come up before your face. Man the fort! Watch the road! Strengthen your flanks! Fortify your power mightily. 8 Though Nineveh of old was like a pool of water, now they flee away. “Halt! Halt!” they cry; but no one turns back.

Nineveh was used as an example to wake Israel up to repent as they did, but fell away and was coming under attack. So they were warned to fight and watch as they strengthened their defense - but they did not stand, but ran away in disregard of God's advice. Do we fight the good fight and aim to finish the race? Do we man the fort of faith's witness, watch with spiritual vision, watch sin creeping at our backs, and find strength in obedient trust in the almighty? Or do we run into defeat? We can do everything through Him who gives us strength from such an infinite pool!
