Zephaniah 2:13-15
English Standard Version
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north
(A)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;[a]
(D)even the owl and the hedgehog[b]
shall lodge in her capitals;
a voice shall hoot in the window;
devastation will be on the threshold;
for (E)her cedar work will be laid bare.
15 This is the exultant city
(F)that lived securely,
that said in her heart,
“I am, and there is no one else.”
What a desolation she has become,
(G)a lair for wild beasts!
(H)Everyone who passes by her
hisses and (I)shakes his fist.

Ezekiel 3:5-9

5 For you are not sent to a people of foreign speech and a hard language, but to the house of Israel— 6 not to many peoples of foreign speech and a hard language, whose words you cannot understand. (A)Surely, if I sent you to such, they would listen to you. 7 (B)But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me: because all the house of Israel (C)have a hard forehead and a stubborn heart. 8 (D)Behold, I have made your face as hard as their faces, and your forehead as hard as their foreheads. 9 Like (E)emery harder than flint have I made your forehead. (F)Fear them not, nor be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.”

The Destruction of Nineveh
2 (A)The scatterer has come up against you.
(B)Man the ramparts;
watch the road;
dress for battle;[a]
collect all your strength.
2 For (C)the Lord is restoring the majesty of Jacob
as the majesty of Israel,
for plunderers have plundered them
and (D)ruined their branches.
3 The shield of his mighty men is red;
(E)his soldiers are clothed in scarlet.
The chariots come with flashing metal
on the day he musters them;
the cypress spears are brandished.
