Wail, you juniper, for the cedar has fallen; the stately trees are ruined! Wail, oaks of Bashan; the dense forest has been cut down!

Juniper trees, cry out! The cedar trees have fallen down. The majestic trees are destroyed. Cry out, you oak trees of Bashan! The thick forest has been cut down.

“ Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes:“‘ Who can be compared with you in majesty?Consider Assyria, once a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches overshadowing the forest; it towered on high, its top above the thick foliage. (niv)

For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?” (niv)

They too, like the great cedar, had gone down to the realm of the dead, to those killed by the sword, along with the armed men who lived in its shade among the nations. (niv)

“ Son of man, set your face toward the south; preach against the south and prophesy against the forest of the southland. (niv)

Woe to you who are complacent in Zion, and to you who feel secure on Mount Samaria, you notable men of the foremost nation, to whom the people of Israel come! (niv)

till the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the desert becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field seems like a forest.The Lord’s justice will dwell in the desert, his righteousness live in the fertile field.The fruit of that righteousness will be peace; its effect will be quietness and confidence forever.My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest.Though hail flattens the forest and the city is leveled completely, (niv)

See, the Lord, the Lord Almighty, will lop off the boughs with great power. The lofty trees will be felled, the tall ones will be brought low.He will cut down the forest thickets with an ax; Lebanon will fall before the Mighty One. (niv)

Are you better than Thebes, situated on the Nile, with water around her? The river was her defense, the waters her wall.Cush and Egypt were her boundless strength; Put and Libya were among her allies.Yet she was taken captive and went into exile. Her infants were dashed to pieces at every street corner. Lots were cast for her nobles, and all her great men were put in chains.You too will become drunk; you will go into hiding and seek refuge from the enemy.All your fortresses are like fig trees with their first ripe fruit; when they are shaken, the figs fall into the mouth of the eater.Look at your troops— they are all weaklings. The gates of your land are wide open to your enemies; fire has consumed the bars of your gates.Draw water for the siege, strengthen your defenses! Work the clay, tread the mortar, repair the brickwork!There the fire will consume you; the sword will cut you down— they will devour you like a swarm of locusts. Multiply like grasshoppers, multiply like locusts!You have increased the number of your merchants till they are more numerous than the stars in the sky, but like locusts they strip the land and then fly away.Your guards are like locusts, your officials like swarms of locusts that settle in the walls on a cold day— but when the sun appears they fly away, and no one knows where.King of Assyria, your shepherds slumber; your nobles lie down to rest. Your people are scattered on the mountains with no one to gather them.Nothing can heal you; your wound is fatal. All who hear the news about you clap their hands at your fall, for who has not felt your endless cruelty? (niv)

The Lord Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty, for all that is exalted( and they will be humbled),for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan,for all the towering mountains and all the high hills,for every lofty tower and every fortified wall,for every trading ship and every stately vessel.The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled; the Lord alone will be exalted in that day, (niv)
