You residents of Lebanon, nestled among the cedars, how you will groan when pains come on you, agony like a woman in labor.

“ But you, son of man, groan! Groan bitterly with a broken heart right before their eyes.And when they ask you,‘ Why are you groaning?’ then say,‘ Because of the news that is coming. Every heart will melt, and every hand will become weak. Every spirit will be discouraged, and all knees will run with urine. Yes, it is coming and it will happen. This is the declaration of the Lord GOD.’”

Lift up a signal flag toward Zion. Run for cover! Don’t stand still!

Your cities will be reduced to uninhabited ruins.Because of this, put on sackcloth; mourn and wail, for the LORD’s burning anger has not turned away from us.“ On that day”— this is the LORD’s declaration—“ the king and the officials will lose their courage.
