10. This is how they will be repaid for their arrogance,for they taunted and verbally harassed the people of the Lord who commands armies.
11. The Lord will terrify them,for he will weaken all the gods of the earth.All the distant nations will worship the Lord in their own lands.
12. “You Ethiopians will also die by my sword!”
13. The Lord will attack the northand destroy Assyria.He will make Nineveh a heap of ruins;it will be as barren as the desert.
14. Flocks and herds will lie down in the middle of it,as well as every kind of wild animal.Owls will sleep in the tops of its support pillars;they will hoot through the windows.Rubble will cover the thresholds;even the cedar work will be exposed to the elements.
