Zephaniah 2:13 - The Message

Then God will reach into the north
   and destroy Assyria.
He will waste Nineveh,
   leave her dry and treeless as a desert.
The ghost town of a city,
   the haunt of wild animals,
Nineveh will be home to raccoons and coyotes—
   they’ll bed down in its ruins.
Owls will hoot in the windows, ravens will croak in the doorways—
   all that fancy woodwork now a perch for birds.
Can this be the famous Fun City
   that had it made,
That boasted, "I’m the Number-One City!
   I’m King of the Mountain!"
So why is the place deserted,
   a lair for wild animals?
Passersby hardly give it a look;
   they dismiss it with a gesture.
