Zephaniah 2:11-13
International Children’s Bible

11 Those people will be afraid of the Lord.
    He will destroy all the gods of the earth.
Then those people in faraway places
    will worship the Lord in their own countries.

Cush and Assyria Will Be Destroyed

12 “You Cushites also
    will be killed by my sword.”
13 Then the Lord will turn against the north
    and punish Assyria.
He will destroy Nineveh.
    It will be dry like a desert.
