Zephaniah 2:12-14

EasyEnglish Bible

¹² ‘I will also punish you people in the country called Ethiopia.

Other people will kill you with a big knife,’ the Lord says.

¹³ The Lord will go against the north.

There, he will destroy the country called Assyria.

He will also destroy Nineveh city. That place will become as dry as a desert.

¹⁴ Sheep will lie down there.

All the wild animals of that place will live together there.

Vultures and owls will rest on top of the high, thin parts of the buildings.

They will sing in the windows.

Bits of doors will lie on the ground.

The Lord will tear down all the things in the houses that they have made from valuable wood.
