Behold, their valiant ones cry outside;
    the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
The highways are desolate.
    The traveling man ceases.
    The covenant is broken.
    He has despised the cities.
    He doesn’t respect man.
The land mourns and languishes.
    Lebanon is confounded and withers away.
    Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.

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.
