凡利巴嫩干霄之柏香木、巴山之橡樹。

必伐利巴嫩諸高大之柏香木、巴珊之諸橡樹、

for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan,

The Lord has set that day apart for all the cedar trees in Lebanon. They are very tall. He has set that day apart for all the oak trees in Bashan.

against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up; and against all the oaks of Bashan;

against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,

And it will be against all the cedars of Lebanon that are lofty and lifted up, Against all the oaks of Bashan,

Upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are high and lifted up, And upon all the oaks of Bashan;

and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,

And upon all the cedars of Lebanon,[ that are] high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan,

for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are so high and mighty, for all the oaks of Bashan;

for all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, for all the oaks of Bashan,

Even the trees of the forest— the cypress trees and the cedars of Lebanon— sing out this joyous song:‘ Since you have been cut down, no one will come now to cut us down!’

Open your doors, Lebanon, so that fire may devour your cedar forests.Weep, you cypress trees, for all the ruined cedars; the most majestic ones have fallen. Weep, you oaks of Bashan, for the thick forests have been cut down.

By your messengers you have defied the Lord. You have said,‘ With my many chariots I have conquered the highest mountains— yes, the remotest peaks of Lebanon. I have cut down its tallest cedars and its finest cypress trees. I have reached its farthest heights and explored its deepest forests.

But look! The Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, will chop down the mighty tree of Assyria with great power! He will cut down the proud. That lofty tree will be brought down.He will cut down the forest trees with an ax. Lebanon will fall to the Mighty One.

So I will send down fire on Judah, and all the fortresses of Jerusalem will be destroyed.”

You are like mighty Assyria, which was once like a cedar of Lebanon, with beautiful branches that cast deep forest shade and with its top high among the clouds.Deep springs watered it and helped it to grow tall and luxuriant. The water flowed around it like a river, streaming to all the trees nearby.This great tree towered high, higher than all the other trees around it. It prospered and grew long thick branches because of all the water at its roots.The birds nested in its branches, and in its shade all the wild animals gave birth. All the great nations of the world lived in its shadow.It was strong and beautiful, with wide spreading branches, for its roots went deep into abundant water.No other cedar in the garden of God could rival it. No cypress had branches to equal it; no plane tree had boughs to compare. No tree in the garden of God came close to it in beauty.Because I made this tree so beautiful, and gave it such magnificent foliage, it was the envy of all the other trees of Eden, the garden of God.“ Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because Egypt became proud and arrogant, and because it set itself so high above the others, with its top reaching to the clouds,I will hand it over to a mighty nation that will destroy it as its wickedness deserves. I have already discarded it.A foreign army— the terror of the nations— has cut it down and left it fallen on the ground. Its branches are scattered across the mountains and valleys and ravines of the land. All those who lived in its shadow have gone away and left it lying there.
