Zephaniah 2:14-15
14Flocks will lie down in her midst, 1All beasts which range in herds; Both the 23pelican and the hedgehog Will lodge in 4the tops of her pillars; 5Birds will sing in the window, Desolation will be on the threshold; For He has laid bare the cedar work.15This is the 6exultant city Which 7dwells securely, Who says in her heart, “8I am, and there is no one besides me.” How she has become a 9desolation, A resting place for beasts! 10Everyone who passes by her will hiss And wave his hand in contempt.
