13 And He will stretch out His hand against the north and destroy Assyria (a step); He will make Nineveh (abode of Ninus) a desolation, as dry as a desert. 14 Herds will lie down in her midst, creatures (nations) of every kind \beasts of every nation/. Both the desert owl and screech owl 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. 15 This carefree city that 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 her hisses and shakes his fist. Zephaniah 2:13-15, Berean Annotated Bible. Public domain.
