Zephaniah 2:12-14

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹² “Even you, the people from Sudan,
you will also die by my sword.”

¹³ The Lord will use his power against the north and destroy Assyria.
He will turn Nineveh into a deserted ruin,
a dried up wasteland like the desert.
¹⁴ Flocks will lie down in it along with animals of every kind.
Even pelicans and herons will nest on top of its columns.
Listen! A bird will sing in a window.
The doorway will be in ruins,
because the Lord will expose the cedar beams.
