Zephaniah 2:14-15

International Children’s Bible

¹⁴ Sheep and goats will lie down there.
    Wild animals will live there.
The owls and crows will sit
    on the stone pillars that are left standing.
Their calls will be heard through the windows.
    Trash will be in the doorways.
    The wooden boards of the buildings will be gone.
¹⁵ This is the happy and safe city.
    It thinks there is no one else as strong as it is.
But that city will be destroyed.
    Only animals will stay there.
Those who pass by will make fun
    and shake their fists.
