Zephaniah 2:12-14
Good News Translation
12 (A)The Lord will also put the people of Ethiopia[a] to death.
13 (B)The Lord will use his power to destroy Assyria. He will make the city of Nineveh a deserted ruin, a waterless desert. 14 It will be a place where flocks, herds, and animals of every kind will lie down. Owls will live among its ruins and hoot from the windows. Crows[b] will caw on the doorsteps. The cedar wood of her buildings will be stripped away.
