⁷ Look, their brave men^(A) cry aloud in the streets;
    the envoys^(B) of peace weep bitterly.
⁸ The highways are deserted,
    no travelers^(C) are on the roads.^(D)
The treaty is broken,^(E)
    its witnesses^[a] are despised,
    no one is respected.
⁹ The land dries up^(F) and wastes away,
    Lebanon^(G) is ashamed and withers;^(H)
Sharon^(I) is like the Arabah,
    and Bashan^(J) and Carmel^(K) drop their leaves.
