Zephaniah 2:12-14
King James Version
12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by my sword.
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds; for he shall uncover the cedar work.

Zephaniah 2:12-14
New International Version
Cush
Assyria
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north
and destroy Assyria,(C)
leaving Nineveh(D) utterly desolate
and dry as the desert.(E)
14 Flocks and herds(F) will lie down there,
creatures of every kind.
The desert owl(G) and the screech owl(H)
will roost on her columns.
Their hooting will echo through the windows,
rubble will fill the doorways,
the beams of cedar will be exposed.
