Parallel

Zephaniah 2:14

Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible

And all beasts of every kind Shall lie down in the midst of her in herds; Both the pelican and the bittern Shall lodge in the capitals thereof; Voices shall sing in the windows; Desolation shall be in the posts; For the cedar-work thereof shall be uncovered.
Herds will lie down in her midst, creatures of every kind (note: Hebrew beasts of every nation). Both the desert owl and screech owl (note: The precise identification of the animals rendered desert owl and screech owl is uncertain.) 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.
