1 Open your doors, O Lebanon,so the fire can consume your cedar.
2 Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen;the majestic trees are destroyed.Wail, O oaks of Bashan,because the unassailable forest has been brought down.
3 There is the sound of wailing shepherds,because their glory is ruined.There is the sound of roaring lions,because the pride of Jordan is ruined.
4 Thus says the Lord my God: Shepherd the flock of slaughter.
