11 The Lord will fill them with fear
    when he causes all the gods of the earth
    to waste away.
Then all the coasts and the islands of the nations[a]
    shall worship him,
    each from its own territory.
12 You also, O Ethiopians,
    will be killed by the sword of the Lord.
13 And he will stretch out his hand against the north
    and destroy Assyria.
He will make Nineveh a wasteland,
    as arid as the desert.
