8 (A)Indeed the cypress trees rejoice over you,And the cedars of Lebanon,Saying, ‘Since you [a]were cut down,No woodsman has come up against us.’
11 Open (A)your doors, O Lebanon,That fire may devour your cedars.
2 Wail, O cypress, for the (A)cedar has fallen,Because the mighty trees are ruined.Wail, O oaks of Bashan,(B)For the thick forest has come down.
