起身下埃及去，并没有求问我；要靠法老的力量加添自己的力量，并投在埃及的荫下。

又临到黎巴嫩高大的香柏树和巴珊的橡树；

曾住在他荫下的必归回，发旺如五谷，开花如葡萄树。他的香气如黎巴嫩的酒。

不然，愿火从亚比米勒发出，烧灭示剑人和米罗众人，又愿火从示剑人和米罗人中出来，烧灭亚比米勒。”

以色列王约阿施差遣使者去见犹大王亚玛谢，说：“黎巴嫩的蒺藜差遣使者去见黎巴嫩的香柏树，说：将你的女儿给我儿子为妻。后来黎巴嫩有一只野兽经过，把蒺藜践踏了。

叶子华美，果子甚多，可作众生的食物；田野的走兽卧在荫下，天空的飞鸟宿在枝上；凡有血气的都从这树得食。

火也从它枝干中发出，烧灭果子，以致没有坚固的枝干可做掌权者的杖。“这是哀歌，也必用以作哀歌。”

因为有火从希实本发出，有火焰出于西宏的城，烧尽摩押的亚珥和亚嫩河邱坛的祭司（“祭司”原文作“主”）。

佳美的树木，就是黎巴嫩的香柏树，是耶和华所栽种的，都满了汁浆。

亚述王曾如黎巴嫩中的香柏树，枝条荣美，影密如林，极其高大，树尖插入云中。

这原是百种里最小的，等到长起来，却比各样的菜都大，且成了树，天上的飞鸟来宿在它的枝上。”

有权势的必如麻瓤；他的工作好像火星，都要一同焚毁，无人扑灭。

众人就各砍一枝，跟随亚比米勒，把树枝堆在卫所的四围，放火烧了卫所，以致示剑楼的人都死了，男女约有一千。
