Devastation of Surrounding Lands

11 Open your gates, Lebanon—
fire will devour your cedars!
Wail, cypress tree! For the cedar has fallen.
    Those majestic ones are devastated.
    Wail, oaks of Bashan!
    For the thick forest is cut down!
Listen to the wailing of the shepherds,
    for their glory is destroyed!
Listen to the roaring of young lions,
    for Jordan’s thickets are ruined!
