Zephaniah 2:12-14

Lexham English Bible

¹² You also, O Cushites,
    they shall be killed by my sword.
¹³ And he will stretch out his hand against the north,
    and he will destroy Assyria
and will make Nineveh a desolation,
    a dry wasteland like the desert.
¹⁴ Herds shall lie down in her midst,
    every wild animal of a nation;
even the desert owl and the screech owl
    shall lodge on her capitals.
A voice shall hoot in the window;
    rubble^[a] on the threshold;
for the cedar is laid bare.
