Zephaniah 2:13 in Context — Zephaniah 2

11 L’Éternel sera terrible contre eux, Car il anéantira tous les dieux de la terre; Et chacun se prosternera devant lui dans son pays, Dans toutes les îles des nations.

12 Vous aussi, Éthiopiens, Vous serez frappés par mon épée.

13 Il étendra sa main sur le septentrion, Il détruira l’Assyrie, Et il fera de Ninive une solitude, Une terre aride comme le désert.

14 Des troupeaux se coucheront au milieu d’elle, Des animaux de toute espèce; Le pélican et le hérisson Habiteront parmi les chapiteaux de ses colonnes; Des cris retentiront aux fenêtres; La dévastation sera sur le seuil, Car les lambris de cèdre seront arrachés.

15 Voilà donc cette ville joyeuse, Qui s’assied avec assurance, Et qui dit en son cœur: Moi, et rien que moi! Eh quoi! Elle est en ruines, C’est un repaire pour les bêtes! Tous ceux qui passeront près d’elle Siffleront et agiteront la main.
