Zephaniah 2:14-15
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
14 Herds shall lie down in it,
every wild animal;[a]
the desert-owl[b] and the screech-owl[c]
shall lodge on its capitals;
the owl[d] shall hoot at the window,
the raven[e] croak on the threshold;
for its cedar-work will be laid bare.
15 Is this the exultant city
that lived secure,
that said to itself,
‘I am, and there is no one else’?
What a desolation it has become,
a lair for wild animals!
Everyone who passes by it
hisses and shakes the fist.
