In context
10 This they shall have in return for their pride, for taunting and mocking the people of the LORD of Hosts.

12 “You too, O Cushites, will be slain by My sword.”

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.
