Listen! Their warriors cry loudly in the streets;
the messengers of peace weep bitterly.(A)

The highways are deserted;
travel has ceased.
An agreement has been broken,(B)
cities[a] despised,
and human life disregarded.
The land mourns and withers;(C)
Lebanon is ashamed and wilted.
Sharon is like a desert;
Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.

  1. 33:8 DSS read witnesses

But now your brave warriors weep in public.
    Your ambassadors of peace cry in bitter disappointment.
Your roads are deserted;
    no one travels them anymore.
The Assyrians have broken their peace treaty
    and care nothing for the promises they made before witnesses.[a]
    They have no respect for anyone.
The land of Israel wilts in mourning.
    Lebanon withers with shame.
The plain of Sharon is now a wilderness.
    Bashan and Carmel have been plundered.
