12 You Cushites will also be slain by My sword.
13 He will also stretch out His hand against the northand destroy Assyria;He will make Nineveh a desolate ruin, dry as the desert.
14 Herds will lie down in the middle of it,every kind of wild animal. Both the desert owl and the screech owl will roost in the capitals of its pillars.Their calls will sound from the window,but devastation will be on the threshold,for He will expose the cedar work.
15 This is the self-assured citythat lives in security,that thinks to herself:I exist, and there is no one else.What a desolation she has become,a place for wild animals to lie down!Everyone who passes by herjeers and shakes his fist.
