Zephaniah 2:12-14

New Century Version

¹² “You Cushites also
    will be killed by my sword.”
¹³ Then the Lord will turn against the north
    and destroy Assyria.
He will make Nineveh
    a ruin as dry as a desert.
¹⁴ Flocks and herds will lie down there,
    and all wild animals.
The owls and crows will sit
    on the stone pillars.
The owl will hoot through the windows,
    trash will be in the doorways,
    and the wooden boards of the buildings will be gone.
