Zephaniah 2:14-15

Common English Bible

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.
