The Fall of the Tyrants

11 Open your doors, Lebanon,
    so that fire can burn down your cedar trees![a]
Weep and wail, cypress trees—
    the cedars have fallen;
    those glorious trees have been destroyed!
Weep and wail, oaks of Bashan—
    the dense forest has been cut down!
The rulers cry out in grief;
    their glory is gone!
Listen to the roaring of the lions;
    their forest home along the Jordan is destroyed!
