Isaiah 33:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Listen! The people of Ariel[a] cry out in the streets;
the envoys of peace weep bitterly.(A)
8 The highways are deserted;
travelers have quit the road.
The treaty is broken;
its oaths[b] are despised,
the people are disregarded.
9 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.
