Zephaniah 2:13-15
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the northa and destroy Assyria,
and he b will make Nineveh a desolation,
a dry waste like the desert.
14 c Herds shall lie down in her midst,
all kinds of beasts; ▼
▼
Hebrew beasts of every nation
e even the owl and the hedgehog ▼
shall lodge in her capitals;
a voice shall hoot in the window;
devastation will be on the threshold;
for g her cedar work will be laid bare.
15 This is the exultant city
h that lived securely,
that said in her heart,
“I am, and there is no one else.”
What a desolation she has become,
i a lair for wild beasts!
j Everyone who passes by her
hisses and k shakes his fist.
