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.

Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, for the glorious trees are ruined! Wail, oaks of Bashan, for the thick forest has been felled!

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.

“ Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his hordes: Who are you like in your greatness?Think of Assyria, a cedar in Lebanon, with beautiful branches and shady foliage and of lofty height. Its top was among the clouds.

For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

They too descended with it to Sheol, to those slain by the sword. As its allies they had lived in its shade among the nations.

“ Son of man, face the south and preach against it. Prophesy against the forest land in the Negev,

Woe to those who are at ease in Zion and to those who feel secure on the hill of Samaria— the notable people in this first of the nations, those the house of Israel comes to.

until the Spirit from heaven is poured out on us. Then the desert will become an orchard, and the orchard will seem like a forest.Then justice will inhabit the wilderness, and righteousness will dwell in the orchard.The result of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quiet confidence forever.Then my people will dwell in a peaceful place, in safe and secure dwellings.But hail will level the forest, and the city will sink into the depths.

Look, the Lord God of Hosts will chop off the branches with terrifying power, and the tall trees will be cut down, the high trees felled.He is clearing the thickets of the forest with an ax, and Lebanon with its majesty will fall.

Are you better than Thebes that sat along the Nile with water surrounding her, whose rampart was the sea, the river her wall?Cush and Egypt were her endless source of strength; Put and Libya were among her allies.Yet she became an exile; she went into captivity. Her children were also dashed to pieces at the head of every street. They cast lots for her dignitaries, and all her nobles were bound in chains.You also will become drunk; you will hide yourself. You also will seek refuge from the enemy.All your fortresses are fig trees with figs that ripened first; when shaken, they fall— right into the mouth of the eater!Look, your troops are like women among you; the gates of your land are wide open to your enemies. Fire will devour the bars of your gates.Draw water for the siege; strengthen your fortresses. Step into the clay and tread the mortar; take hold of the brick-mold!The fire will devour you there; the sword will cut you down. It will devour you like the young locust. Multiply yourselves like the young locust, multiply like the swarming locust!You have made your merchants more numerous than the stars of the sky. The young locust strips the land and flies away.Your court officials are like the swarming locust, and your scribes like clouds of locusts, which settle on the walls on a cold day; when the sun rises, they take off, and no one knows where they are.King of Assyria, your shepherds slumber; your officers sleep. Your people are scattered across the mountains with no one to gather them together.There is no remedy for your injury; your wound is severe. All who hear the news about you will clap their hands because of you, for who has not experienced your constant cruelty?

For a day belonging to the Lord of Hosts is coming against all that is proud and lofty, against all that is lifted up— it will be humbled—against all the cedars of Lebanon, lofty and lifted up, against all the oaks of Bashan,against all the high mountains, against all the lofty hills,against every high tower, against every fortified wall,against every ship of Tarshish, and against every splendid sea vessel.So human pride will be brought low, and the loftiness of men will be humbled; the Lord alone will be exalted on that day.
