12 You Cushites will also be slain by my sword.(A)

13 He will also stretch out his hand against the north
and destroy Assyria;
he will make Nineveh a desolate ruin,(B)
dry as the desert.
14 Herds will lie down in the middle of it,
every kind of wild animal.[a]
Both eagle owls[b] and herons[c]
will roost in the capitals of its pillars.
Their calls will sound[d] from the window,
but devastation[e] will be on the threshold,
for he will expose the cedar work.[f]
