Zephaniah 2:13

Cush And Assyria Will Be Destroyed

¹² “You also, O Ethiopians, will be slain by My sword.”
¹³ And He will stretch out His hand against the north
And destroy Assyria,
And He will make Nineveh a desolation,
Parched like the wilderness.
¹⁴ Flocks will lie down in her midst,
All beasts which range in herds;
Both the pelican and the hedgehog
Will lodge in the tops of her pillars;
Birds will sing in the window,
Desolation will be on the threshold;
For He has laid bare the cedar work.
