See, ·brave people [heroes; valiant ones] are crying out in the streets;
    ·those who tried to bring [envoys/ambassadors of] peace are weeping ·loudly [bitterly].
·There is no one on the roads [L Highways lie desolate/deserted],
    no ·one walking [travelers] in the ·paths [roads; way].
People have broken the ·agreements [treaties; covenants] they made.
    They ·refuse to believe the proof from [L despise its] witnesses.
    No one ·respects [cares about; regards] other people.
The land ·is sick and dying [dries up and withers; or mourns and languishes];
    Lebanon is ashamed and ·dying [shrivels; withers].
Sharon [C a fertile plain along the Mediterranean coast] is like the desert,
    and ·the trees of Bashan and Carmel are dying [L Bashan and Carmel shake off; C their leaves; these places were known for their lush trees and vegetation; 2:13; 35:2].
