What does Zephaniah 2:14 mean?

This is the city that thought it was safe and untouchable, saying to itself, 'I’m the best, and there’s no one else like me.' But now it’s become a place for wild animals. Everyone who passes by will hiss and shake their head in disgust. Zephaniah 2:14 - Modern Text Bible

(Pride led to the city’s downfall. What was once admired is now a warning to others about arrogance and self-reliance.)
