12. “You Cushites alsowill be killed by my sword.”
13. Then the Lord will turn against the northand destroy Assyria.He will make Nineveha ruin as dry as a desert.
14. Flocks and herds will lie down there,and all wild animals.The owls and crows will siton the stone pillars.The owl will hoot through the windows,trash will be in the doorways,and the wooden boards of the buildings will be gone.
