← Zephaniah 2:12	Zephaniah 2:13 (KJV)	Zephaniah 2:14 →
Ye Ethiopians also, ye [shall be] slain by my sword.	And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, [and] dry like a wilderness.	And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; [their] voice shall sing in the windows; desolation [shall be] in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.
