Zephaniah 2:12

Cush And Assyria Will Be Destroyed

¹¹ The Lord will be terrifying and awesome to them, for He will starve all the gods of the earth; and all the coastlands of the nations will bow down and worship Him, everyone from his own place. ¹² 
“You also, O Ethiopians, will be slain by My sword.”
¹³
And the Lord will stretch out His hand against the north
And destroy Assyria,
And He will make Nineveh a desolation [a wasteland],
Parched as the desert.
