1 Open your doors, Lebanon,so that fire will be able to burn down your cedars.
2 Cry, cypress trees,because the cedars have fallenand the stately trees have been destroyed.Cry, oak trees of Bashan,because your dense forest has fallen down.
3 Listen! The shepherds are crying,because their rich pastures are destroyed.Listen! The young lions are roaring,because the lush banks of the Jordan are destroyed.
4 This is what the Lord my God says: Take care of the sheep that are about to be slaughtered.
