Zephaniah 2:12-14

Modern English Version

¹² You also, O Ethiopians,
    will be slain by My sword.

¹³ And He will stretch out His hand against the north
    and destroy Assyria;
and He will make Nineveh a desolation,
    and dry like the desert.
¹⁴ Herds will lie down in her midst,
    beasts of every kind;
the cormorant and the bittern
    will lodge on her pillars.
Their voice will sing in the windows;
    desolation will be on the threshold;
    for He will lay bare the cedar work.
