Eternal One: You are as precious to Me as the lush forests of Gilead;
        you are like the cedars on the summit of Lebanon.
    But I swear I will make you into a wilderness—stripped of trees—
        with cities that lie empty and lifeless.
⁷     I will unleash destroyers against you—
        ruthless men with fearful weapons.
    They will cut down your best trees
        and throw them on the fire.
