Herds will lie down in the middle of her, all kinds of animals. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.

ગુજરાતીસફાન્યા ૨:૧૪
જાનવરો, એટલે દરેક પ્રજાનાં પ્રાણીઓ આશ્શૂરમાં પડી રહેશે, તેના થાંભલાઓની ટોચ પર બગલાં તથા ઘુવડો માળા બાંધશે. તેઓના સાદનું ગાયન બારીમાંથી સંભળાશે, ઉંબરાઓ ઉજ્જડ થઈ જશે, કેમ કે તેણે એરેજકાષ્ટના પાટડા ઉઘાડા કરી નાખ્યા છે.
हिन्दीसपन्याह २:१४
उसके बीच में सब जाति के वन पशु झुण्ड के झुण्ड बैठेंगे; उसके खम्भों की कँगनियों पर धनेश और साही दोनों रात को बसेरा करेंगे और उसकी खिड़कियों में बोला करेंगे; उसकी डेवढ़ियाँ सूनी पड़ी रहेंगी, और देवदार की लकड़ी उघाड़ी जाएगी।

In context

12You Cushites also, you will be killed by my sword.

13He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.

14Herds will lie down in the middle of her, all kinds of animals. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.

15This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, “I am, and there is no one besides me.” How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss and shake their fists.
