Zephaniah 2:12-14
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
12 You Ethiopians, also shall be slain with my sword.
13 And he will stretch out his hand upon the north, and will destroy Assyria: and he will make the beautiful city a wilderness, and as a place not passable, and as a desert.
14 And flocks shall lie down in the midst thereof, all the beasts of the nations: and the bittern and the urchin shall lodge in the threshold thereof: the voice of the singing bird in the window, the raven on the upper post, for I will consume her strength.

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.
