Isaiah 33:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ Look! Our brave soldiers are calling out in the streets.
The people that we sent to make peace with our enemies are weeping.
⁸ The big roads are empty.
    Nobody is travelling anywhere.
People spoil agreements that they have made.
    They do not believe what people promise.
    They do not respect anyone.
⁹ The land itself is dry and useless.
    Lebanon's forest is dying.
    Sharon has become like a desert.
    The trees in Bashan and Carmel have no leaves.^[a]
