Zephaniah 2:12-14

International Standard Version

¹³ “And the Lord^[c] will attack^[d] the north, destroying Assyria.
    He will turn Nineveh into a desolate ruin,
        as dry as a desert wilderness.
¹⁴ Flocks will lie down in her midst,
    along with animals of every kind.
Desert owls and screeching owls will nest at the top of the pillars,
    hooting through the vacant^[e] windows,
        ‘Ruin sits at these doorsills,’
for he will expose even the cedar framework.
