Isaiah 33:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
7 Listen! Their warriors cry loudly in the streets;
the messengers of peace weep bitterly.(A)
8 The highways are deserted;
travel has ceased.
An agreement has been broken,(B)
cities[a] despised,
and human life disregarded.
9 The land mourns and withers;(C)
Lebanon is ashamed and wilted.
Sharon is like a desert;
Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.

Isaiah 33:7-9
International Standard Version
Israel’s Unenviable Plight
7 “Listen! Their brave men cry out in the streets;
the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
8 The highways are deserted;
travelers have quit the road.
The enemy[a] has broken treaties;
he despises their witnesses,[b]
and respects no one.
9 The land mourns and wastes away;
Lebanon feels ashamed and withers.
Sharon is like a desert;
Bashan[c] and Carmel shake off their leaves.”
