Zephaniah 2:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
12 You also, O Cushites,
shall be killed by my sword.(A)
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north
and destroy Assyria,
and he will make Nineveh a desolation,
a dry waste like the desert.(B)
14 Herds shall lie down in it,
every wild animal of the earth;[a]
the desert owl[b] and the screech owl[c]
shall lodge on its capitals;
the owl[d] shall hoot at the window,
the raven[e] croak on the threshold,
for its cedar work will be laid bare.(C)
