The LORD will attack the north and destroy Assyria.

Rubble will cover the thresholds; even the cedar work will be exposed to the elements.This is how the once-proud city will end up– the city that was so secure. She thought to herself,“ I am unique! No one can compare to me!” What a heap of ruins she has become, a place where wild animals live! Everyone who passes by her taunts her and shakes his fist.
