10 This is how Moab and Ammonwill at last be repaidfor their pride—and for sneering at the nationthat belongs to me,the Lord All-Powerful.
11 I will fiercely attack.Then every god on this earthwill shrink to nothing,and everyone of every nationwill bow down to me,right where they are.
12 People of Ethiopia,the sword of the Lordwill slaughter you!
13 The Lord will reach to the northto crush Assyriaand overthrow Nineveh.
14 Herds of wild animalswill live in its rubble;all kinds of desert owlswill perch on its stonesand hoot in the windows.Noisy ravens will be heardinside its buildings,stripped bare of cedar.
15 This is the glorious citythat felt secure and said,“I am the only one!”Now it's merely ruins,a home for wild animals.Every passer-by simply sneersand makes vulgar signs.
