Isaiah 33:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ Listen! Their valiant ones cry in the streets;
    the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
⁸ The highways lie waste,
    the wayfaring man ceases.
He has broken the covenant,
    he has despised the cities,
    he has no regard for man.
⁹ The earth mourns and languishes;
    Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down.
Sharon is like a wilderness,
    and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
