⁸ Even the juniper trees show how happy they are.
    The cedar trees of Lebanon celebrate too.
They say, ‘Babylon, you have fallen.
    Now no one comes and cuts us down.’

²⁴ Through your messengers
    you have laughed at me again and again.
And you have said,
    ‘I have many chariots.
With them I have climbed to the tops of the mountains.
    I’ve climbed the highest mountains in Lebanon.
I’ve cut down its tallest cedar trees.
    I’ve cut down the best of its juniper trees.
I’ve reached its farthest mountains.
    I’ve reached its finest forests.
