Tzefanyah 2:12-14
Orthodox Jewish Bible
12 Ye Ethiopians also, ye shall be slain by My cherev.
13 And Hashem will stretch out His hand against the tzafon (north), and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, a dry waste like a midbar.
14 And herds shall lie down in the midst of it, all the beasts of the Goyim; both the desert owl and the screech owl will roost on her columns; their voice shall hoot in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds; the beams of cedar will be exposed.

New International Version
Cush
Assyria
13 He will stretch out his hand against the north
and destroy Assyria,(C)
leaving Nineveh(D) utterly desolate
and dry as the desert.(E)
14 Flocks and herds(F) will lie down there,
creatures of every kind.
The desert owl(G) and the screech owl(H)
will roost on her columns.
Their hooting will echo through the windows,
rubble will fill the doorways,
the beams of cedar will be exposed.
