11 Lebanon, open your gates
    so fire may burn your cedar trees.[a]
Cry, pine trees, because the cedar has fallen.
    The tall trees are ruined.
Cry, oaks in Bashan,
    because the mighty forest has been cut down.
Listen to the shepherds crying.
    Their rich pastures are destroyed.
Listen to the lions roaring.
    The thick bushes near the Jordan River are ruined.
