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! The people of Ariel[a] cry out in the streets;
    the envoys of peace weep bitterly.(A)
The highways are deserted;
    travelers have quit the road.
The treaty is broken;
    its oaths[b] are despised,
    the people are disregarded.
The land mourns and languishes;
    Lebanon is confounded and withers away;
Sharon is like a desert,
    and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
