21 But (A)desert creatures will lie down there,
And their houses will be full of [a]owls;
Ostriches also will dwell there, and [b]shaggy goats will leap there.
22 [c]And hyenas will howl in their fortified towers
And jackals in their luxurious (B)palaces.
Her fateful time also [d]will soon come
And her days will not be prolonged.

13 And thorns will come up in its (A)fortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of (B)jackals
And an abode of ostriches.
14 And the desert (C)creatures will meet with the [a]wolves;
The [b](D)hairy goat also will cry to its kind;
Surely, the [c]night creature will obtain relief there
And will find itself a resting place.
15 The [d]owl will make its nest and find its escape there,
And it will hatch its eggs and gather them in its shade.
Surely, (E)the [e]falcons will be gathered there,
Every one with its kind.

Zephaniah 2:14-15
Legacy Standard Bible
14 Flocks will lie down in her midst,
All the beasts of the nation;
Both the [a](A)pelican and the hedgehog
Will lodge in [b]the tops of her pillars;
Their voice will sing in the window,
Ruin will be on the threshold;
For He has laid bare the cedar work.
15 This is the (B)exultant city
Which (C)inhabits securely,
Who says in her heart,
“(D)I am, and there is no one besides me.”
How she has become an object of (E)horror,
A resting place for beasts!
(F)Everyone who passes by her will hiss
And wave his hand in contempt.
