Zephaniah 2:12-14
Revised Standard Version
Zephaniah 2:12-14
Revised Standard Version
12 You also, O Ethiopians,
shall be slain by my sword.
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north,
and destroy Assyria;
and he will make Nin′eveh a desolation,
a dry waste like the desert.
14 Herds shall lie down in the midst of her,
all the beasts of the field;[a]
the vulture[b] and the hedgehog
shall lodge in her capitals;
the owl[c] shall hoot in the window,
the raven[d] croak on the threshold;
for her cedar work will be laid bare.
