The words about the Cushites, Assyria and Nineveh
구스 사람과 앗수르와 니느웨를 두고 이르는 말
Zephaniah 2:12–15: the text says, “You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword. He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness. Herds will lie down in the middle of her, all kinds of animals. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams. This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, ‘I am, and there is no one besides me.’ How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss and shake their fists.” WEB’s only quotation marks in these verses are around the city’s words of 2:15. The Korean Revised Version names the LORD at 2:13 (여호와가 북방을 향하여 손을 펴서), where WEB reads “He will stretch out his hand against the north”.
