Chapter 11

Open your doors, O Lebanon,
    so that the fire may devour your cedars.
Wail, you cypress trees,
    for the cedars have fallen,
    the majestic trees have been ravaged.
Wail, you oaks of Bashan,
    for the impenetrable forest has been felled.
Listen to the wailing of the shepherds,
    for their majesty has been destroyed.
Listen to the roar of the lions,
    for the dense thickets of the Jordan have been ravaged.
