Zephaniah 2:11-13

International Standard Version

¹¹The Lord will incite them to terror,
    because he will cause all the gods of the earth to waste away.
They will worship him,
    every person in his own home,
        including even the coastlands of the nations.”

The Lord’s Rebuke to Cush and Nineveh

¹²“Now as for you, Cush,^[a]
you^[b] will surely be slain by my sword!

¹³“And the Lord^[c] will attack^[d] the north, destroying Assyria.
He will turn Nineveh into a desolate ruin,
as dry as a desert wilderness.
