Look, their brave men(A) cry aloud in the streets;
    the envoys(B) of peace weep bitterly.
The highways are deserted,
    no travelers(C) are on the roads.(D)
The treaty is broken,(E)
    its witnesses[a] are despised,
    no one is respected.
The land dries up(F) and wastes away,
    Lebanon(G) is ashamed and withers;(H)
Sharon(I) is like the Arabah,
    and Bashan(J) and Carmel(K) drop their leaves.

10 “Now will I arise,(L)” says the Lord.
    “Now will I be exalted;(M)
    now will I be lifted up.
11 You conceive(N) chaff,
    you give birth(O) to straw;
    your breath is a fire(P) that consumes you.
12 The peoples will be burned to ashes;(Q)
    like cut thornbushes(R) they will be set ablaze.(S)
