Zephaniah 2:14-15
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Flocks will lie down in her midst,
All the beasts of the nation;
Both the [a](A)pelican and the hedgehog
Will lodge in [b]the tops of her pillars;
Their voice will sing in the window,
Ruin will be on the threshold;
For He has laid bare the cedar work.
15 This is the (B)exultant city
Which (C)inhabits securely,
Who says in her heart,
“(D)I am, and there is no one besides me.”
How she has become an object of (E)horror,
A resting place for beasts!
(F)Everyone who passes by her will hiss
And wave his hand in contempt.

Zephaniah 2:14-15
New International Version
14 Flocks and herds(A) will lie down there,
creatures of every kind.
The desert owl(B) and the screech owl(C)
will roost on her columns.
Their hooting will echo through the windows,
rubble will fill the doorways,
the beams of cedar will be exposed.
15 This is the city of revelry(D)
that lived in safety.(E)
She said to herself,
“I am the one! And there is none besides me.”(F)
What a ruin she has become,
a lair for wild beasts!(G)
All who pass by her scoff(H)
and shake their fists.(I)
