Zephaniah 2:15

Stolthet

13 And He will stretch out His hand against the north and destroy Assyria; He will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as a desert.

14 Herds will lie down in her midst, creatures of every kind. Both the desert owl and screech owl will roost atop her pillars. Their calls will sound from the window, but desolation will lie on the threshold, for He will expose the beams of cedar.

This carefree city that dwells securely, that thinks to herself: “I am it, and there is none besides me,” what a ruin she has become, a resting place for beasts. Everyone who passes by her hisses and shakes his fist.

ÅB
Dette er den jublende stad, som bodde så trygt, som sa i sitt hjerte: Jeg og ingen annen! Hvor den er blitt til en ørken, et leie for ville dyr! Hver den som går forbi, blåser av den og rister hånlig sin hånd.
OTB
Dette er den selvsikre byen
Som bor trygt,
Som sier i sitt hjerte,
“Jeg er, og det er ingen ved siden av meg.”
Hvordan har hun blitt en ødemark,
Et hvilested for dyr!
Alle som går forbi henne skal plystre
Og vifte med hånden i forakt.
