10. This will happen on account of their pride,because they taunted and boasted over the people of the Lord of heavenly forces.
11. The Lord will terrify them;he will make all the gods of the earth disappear.All the coastlands of the nations will bow down to the Lord, each one in its own place.
12. Moreover, you too, Cushites, will be pierced by my sword.
13. He will stretch out his hand against the northand will cause Assyria to perish.Let him make Nineveh a desolation,a desolate place like the wilderness.
14. Flocks will lie down in its midst,every living thing of the nation.Moreover, the owl and the porcupine will spend the night on its columns.A bird’s call will resound from the window.Desolation will be on the sill,for the cedar will be stripped bare.
15. This is the jubilant city,the one dwelling securely,the one saying in her heart,I, and no one else, will endure forever.How she has become a desolation,a resting place for the wild animals.All those who pass through her hiss and shake their fist.
