Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Das ist die frohlockende Stadt, die in Sicherheit wohnte, die in ihrem Herzen sprach: Ich bin's und gar keine sonst! Wie ist sie zur Wüste geworden, zum Lagerplatz der wilden Tiere! Ein jeder, der an ihr vorüberzieht, wird zischen, wird seine Hand schwenken.

Bíblia Livre (BL)Português

Essa é a cidade exultante que viveu sem medo e que disse no seu coração: "Eu sou, e não há outra igual". Ela se tornou um horror, um lugar para animais ferozes pastarem! Cada um que passa por ela zombará com assobios e farão gestos de desprezo.
📖 Zephaniah 2:15 in Context
13And he will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a wilderness.
14And 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.
15This 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.
