Zephaniah 2:14-15
Lexham English Bible
14 Herds shall lie down in her midst,
every wild animal of a nation;
even the desert owl and the screech owl
shall lodge on her capitals.
A voice shall hoot in the window;
rubble[a] on the threshold;
for the cedar is laid bare.
15 This is the city of rejoicing
that lived securely;
the one saying in her heart,
“I am, and there is none besides me.”[b]
How she has become a desolation,
a lair for wild animals!
Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.
