A Message About Assyria

13 The Lord will reach out his powerful hand against the north.
    He will destroy Assyria.
He’ll leave Nineveh totally empty.
    It will be as dry as a desert.
14 Flocks and herds will lie down there.
    So will creatures of every kind.
Desert owls and screech owls
    will rest on its pillars.
The sound of their hooting will echo through the windows.
    The doorways will be full of trash.
    The cedar beams will be showing.
15 Nineveh was a carefree city.
    It lived in safety.
It said to itself,
    “I am the one!
    No one is greater than I am.”
But it has been destroyed.
    Wild animals make their home there.
All those who pass by laugh
    and shake their fists at it.

Assyria

13 He will stretch out his hand against the north
    and destroy Assyria,(A)
leaving Nineveh(B) utterly desolate
    and dry as the desert.(C)
14 Flocks and herds(D) will lie down there,
    creatures of every kind.
The desert owl(E) and the screech owl(F)
    will roost on her columns.
Their hooting will echo through the windows,
    rubble will fill the doorways,
    the beams of cedar will be exposed.
15 This is the city of revelry(G)
    that lived in safety.(H)
She said to herself,
    “I am the one! And there is none besides me.”(I)
What a ruin she has become,
    a lair for wild beasts!(J)
All who pass by her scoff(K)
    and shake their fists.(L)
