The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: ZEP 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.
ZEP 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.
ZEP 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.
