Zephaniah 2:12

12 “You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered by my sword,” says the LORD .

Zephaniah 2:12 In-Context

10 They will receive the wages of their pride, for they have scoffed at the people of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
11 The LORD will terrify them as he destroys all the gods in the land. Then nations around the world will worship the LORD, each in their own land.
12 “You Ethiopians will also be slaughtered by my sword,” says the LORD .
13 And the LORD will strike the lands of the north with his fist, destroying the land of Assyria. He will make its great capital, Nineveh, a desolate wasteland, parched like a desert.
14 The proud city will become a pasture for flocks and herds, and all sorts of wild animals will settle there. The desert owl and screech owl will roost on its ruined columns, their calls echoing through the gaping windows. Rubble will block all the doorways, and the cedar paneling will be exposed to the weather.
