Zephaniah 2:13-15
New King James Version
13 And He will stretch out His hand against the north,
(A)Destroy Assyria,
And make Nineveh a desolation,
As dry as the wilderness.
14 The herds shall lie down in her midst,
(B)Every beast of the nation.
Both the (C)pelican and the bittern
Shall lodge on the capitals of her pillars;
Their voice shall sing in the windows;
Desolation shall be at the threshold;
For He will lay bare the (D)cedar work.
15 This is the rejoicing city
(E)That dwelt securely,
(F)That said in her heart,
“I am it, and there is none besides me.”
How has she become a desolation,
A place for beasts to lie down!
Everyone who passes by her
(G)Shall hiss and (H)shake his fist.

Ezekiel 3:5-9
New King James Version
5 For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel, 6 not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, (A)had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you. 7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you, (B)because they will not listen to Me; (C)for all the house of Israel are [a]impudent and hard-hearted. 8 Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads. 9 (D)Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; (E)do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”

For (C)I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord.
9 Then the Lord put forth His hand and (D)touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me:
“Behold, I have (E)put My words in your mouth.
10 (F)See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms,
To (G)root out and to pull down,
To destroy and to throw down,
To build and to plant.”

Nahum 2:1-3
New King James Version
The Destruction of Nineveh
2 He[a] who scatters has come up before your face.
Man the fort!
Watch the road!
Strengthen your flanks!
Fortify your power mightily.
2 For the Lord will restore the excellence of Jacob
Like the excellence of Israel,
For the emptiers have emptied them out
And ruined their vine branches.
3 The shields of his mighty men are made red,
The valiant men are in scarlet.
The chariots come with flaming torches
In the day of his preparation,
And [b]the spears are brandished.
Micah 3:8

And to Israel his sin.
