## Zephaniah 2:14-15 in Context (Verses 11–15 KJV)
 
 [11 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/11) The LORD *will be* terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and *men* shall worship him, every one from his place, *even* all the isles of the heathen.*
 
 [12 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/12) ¶ Ye Ethiopians also, ye *shall be* slain by my sword.
 
 [13 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/13) And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, *and* dry like a wilderness.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/14) And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; *their* voice shall sing in the windows; desolation *shall be* in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work.***
 
 [15 ](/kjv/zephaniah/2/15) This *is* the rejoicing city that dwelt carelessly, that said in her heart, I *am*, and *there is* none beside me: how is she become a desolation, a place for beasts to lie down in! every one that passeth by her shall hiss, *and* wag his hand.
 
[Zephaniah 1](/kjv/zephaniah/1) [Zephaniah 3](/kjv/zephaniah/3)
