1 Open your doors, O Lebanon,That fire may devour your cedars.
2 Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen,Because the mighty trees are ruined.Wail, O oaks of Bashan,For the thick forest has come down.
3 There is the sound of wailing shepherds!For their glory is in ruins.There is the sound of roaring lions!For the pride of the Jordan is in ruins.
4 Thus says the Lord my God, “Feed the flock for slaughter,
5 whose owners slaughter them and feel no guilt; those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich’; and their shepherds do not pity them.
