13 And He will stretch out His hand against the north,
aDestroy Assyria,
And make Nineveh a desolation,
As dry as the wilderness.

And make Nineveh a desolation,
As dry as the wilderness.
14 The herds shall lie down in her midst,
aEvery beast of the nation.
Both the bpelican and the bittern
Shall lodge on the capitals of her pillars;
Their voice shall sing in the windows;
Desolation shall be at the threshold;
For He will lay bare the ccedar work.

15 This is the rejoicing city
aThat dwelt securely,
bThat said in her heart,
“I am it, and there is none besides me.”
How has she become a desolation,
A place for beasts to lie down!
Everyone who passes by her
cShall hiss and dshake his fist.
