Berean Standard Bible

Zephaniah 2:13-15

13And He will stretch out His hand against the north and destroy Assyria; He will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as a desert.14Herds will lie down in her midst, creatures of every kind.1 Both the desert owl and screech owl2 will roost atop her pillars. Their calls will sound from the window, but desolation will lie on the threshold, for He will expose the beams of cedar.

15This carefree citythat dwells securely,that thinks to herself:“I am it, and there is none besides me,”what a ruin she has become,a resting place for beasts.Everyone who passes by herhisses and shakes his fist.
