Zephaniah 2:11-15

11Jehovah will be terrible unto them; for he will famish all the godsH430 of the earthH776; and menH376 shall worship him, every oneH376 from his placeH4725, even all the isles of the nationsH1471.

12Ye Ethiopians alsoH1571, ye shall be slainH2491 by my swordH2719. 13And he will stretchH5186 out his handH3027 against the northH6828, and destroyH6 AssyriaH804, and will makeH7760 NinevehH5210 a desolationH8077, and dryH6723 like the wildernessH4057. 14And herdsH5739 shall lieH7257 down in the midstH8432 of her, all the beasts of the nationsH1471: both the pelican and the porcupine shall lodge in the capitals thereof; their voiceH6963 shall singH7891 in the windowsH2474; desolation shall be in the thresholdsH5592: for he hath laidH6168 bareH6168 the cedar-work. 15This is the joyous cityH5892 that dweltH3427 carelessly, that saidH559 in her heartH3824, I am, and there is none besides me: howH349 is she becomeH1961 a desolationH8047, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hissH8319, and wag his handH3027.
