Zephaniah 2:12-14

Christian Standard Bible

¹² You Cushites will also be slain by my sword.^(A)

¹³ He will also stretch out his hand against the north
and destroy Assyria;
he will make Nineveh a desolate ruin,^(B)
dry as the desert.
¹⁴ Herds will lie down in the middle of it,
every kind of wild animal.^[a]
Both eagle owls^[b] and herons^[c]
will roost in the capitals of its pillars.
Their calls will sound^[d] from the window,
but devastation^[e] will be on the threshold,
for he will expose the cedar work.^[f]
