Zephaniah 2:13-15
Contemporary English Version
Judgment on Assyria
13 (A) The Lord will reach to the north
to crush Assyria
and overthrow Nineveh.[a]
14 Herds of wild animals
will live in its rubble;
all kinds of desert owls
will perch on its stones
and hoot in the windows.
Noisy ravens will be heard
inside its buildings,
stripped bare of cedar.[b]
15 This is the glorious city
that felt secure and said,
“I am the only one!”
Now it's merely ruins,
a home for wild animals.
Every passerby simply sneers
and makes vulgar signs.
