¹¹ The Lord will make them afraid.

He will destroy all the false gods.

People will worship him instead. Every person, in his own place, will worship God.

They will also worship him in the places where the people now believe in false gods.

¹² ‘I will also punish you people in the country called Ethiopia.

Other people will kill you with a big knife,’ the Lord says.

¹³ The Lord will go against the north.

There, he will destroy the country called Assyria.

He will also destroy Nineveh city. That place will become as dry as a desert.
