Zephaniah 2:15
This 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.Zephaniah 2:15 · WEB

- ગુજરાતી — સફાન્યા ૨:૧૫
- આ આનંદી નગર નિશ્ચિંત રહેતું હતું, તે હૃદયમાં કહે છે કે, “હું છું અને મારા જેવું કોઈ પણ નથી.” તે કેવું વેરાન તથા પશુઓના રહેવાનું સ્થાન થઈ ગયું છે. તેની પાસે થઈને જનાર દરેક માણસ નિસાસા સાથે પોતાનો હાથ હલાવશે.
- हिन्दी — सपन्याह २:१५
- यह वही नगरी है, जो मगन रहती और निडर बैठी रहती थी, और सोचती थी कि मैं ही हूँ, और मुझे छोड़ कोई है ही नहीं। परन्तु अब यह उजाड़ और वन-पशुओं के बैठने का स्थान बन गया है, यहाँ तक कि जो कोई इसके पास होकर चले, वह ताली बजाएगा और हाथ हिलाएगा।
In context
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.
