Surely their valiant ones shall cry outside,
(A)The ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
(B)The highways lie waste,
The traveling man ceases.
(C)He has broken the covenant,
[a]He has despised the [b]cities,
He regards no man.
(D)The earth mourns and languishes,
Lebanon is shamed and shriveled;
Sharon is like a wilderness,
And Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without; the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth; he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

The earth mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down. Sharon is like a wilderness, and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
