Behold, their valiant ones cry outside;
    the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
The highways are desolate.
    The traveling man ceases.
    The covenant is broken.
    He has despised the cities.
    He doesn’t respect man.
The land mourns and languishes.
    Lebanon is confounded and withers away.
    Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.

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

    Lebanon(G) is ashamed and withers;(H)
Sharon(I) is like the Arabah,
    and Bashan(J) and Carmel(K) drop their leaves.
