Zephaniah 2:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ Then the Lord will ·turn [^Lstretch out his hand] against the north
    and destroy Assyria.
He will make Nineveh
    a ·ruin [desolation] as dry as a desert.
¹⁴ Flocks and herds will lie down there,
    and all ·wild animals [kinds of beasts].
The ·owls [horned owls; or pelicans] and ·crows [or screech owls; or hedgehogs] will sit
    on ·the stone pillars [her columns/capitals].
The owl will hoot through the windows,
    ·trash [rubble; devastation] will be in the ·doorways [thresholds],
    and the ·wooden boards [cedar work] of the buildings will be ·gone [or exposed].
¹⁵ This is the ·happy [boisterous; exultant] and ·safe [secure] city
    that ·thinks [^Lsaid in her heart] ·there is no one else as strong as it is [^L“I am it, and there is no one besides me”].
But what a ruin it will be,
    a place where wild animals live.
All those who pass by will ·make fun [scoff; ^Lhiss]
    and shake their fists.
