² Wail, you fir trees, because the cedars have fallen.
    The majestic trees have been destroyed.
    Wail, oaks of Bashan,
    for the impenetrable forest has been felled.
³ There is a sound of shepherds wailing,
    because their splendor has been destroyed.
    There is a sound of young lions roaring,
    for the dense thickets of the Jordan have been destroyed.
