See, brave men are crying out in the streets.
    Those who tried to bring peace are crying loudly.
There is no one on the roads.
    No one is walking in the paths.
People have broken the agreements they made.
    People refuse to believe the proof from witnesses.
    No one respects other people.
The land is sick and dying.
    Lebanon is ashamed and dying.
The Plain of Sharon is dry like the desert.
    The trees of Bashan and Carmel are dying.

The highways are deserted,
    no travelers(C) are on the roads.(D)
The treaty is broken,(E)
    its witnesses[a] are despised,
    no one is respected.
The land dries up(F) and wastes away,
    Lebanon(G) is ashamed and withers;(H)
Sharon(I) is like the Arabah,
    and Bashan(J) and Carmel(K) drop their leaves.
