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.

  1. 33:8 As in Dead Sea Scrolls; Masoretic Text reads care nothing for the cities.

Behold, their brave men cry out [a]in the streets,
The [b](A)ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
The highways are desolate, [c]the (B)traveler has ceased,
He has (C)broken the covenant, he has despised the cities,
He has no regard for mankind.
(D)The land mourns and wastes away,
(E)Lebanon is shamed and withers;
(F)Sharon is like a desert plain,
And Bashan and Carmel [d]lose their foliage.
