Zephaniah 2:13-15

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ And He will stretch out His Hand against the North and destroy Assyria and will make Nineveh desolate and waste like a wilderness.

¹⁴ And flocks shall lie in the midst of her. And all the beasts of the nations and the pelican and the owl shall abide in the upper pillars of it. The voice of birds shall sing in the windows. Desolation shall be upon the doorposts. For the cedars are uncovered.

¹⁵ This is the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am! And there is none besides me!” How she has been made desolate, and the lodging of the beasts! Everyone who passes by her shall hiss and wag his hand.9
