Isaiah 33:7-9
English Standard Version
7 Behold, their heroes cry in the streets;
(A)the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
8 (B)The highways lie waste;
the traveler ceases.
(C)Covenants are broken;
cities[a] are despised;
there is no regard for man.
9 (D)The land mourns and languishes;
Lebanon is confounded and withers away;
Sharon is like a desert,
and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.

Isaiah 33:7-9
New Living Translation
7 But now your brave warriors weep in public.
Your ambassadors of peace cry in bitter disappointment.
8 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.
9 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.
