11 Open your doors, O Lebanon,

so that fire will devour your cedars!
Wail, O juniper,[a] for the cedar has fallen,
    for the magnificent trees are ruined!
Wail, oaks of Bashan,
    for the impenetrable forest has come down!
Listen to the wailing of the shepherds,
    for their splendor is ruined!
Listen to the roar of the young lions,
    for the thickets of the Jordan are ruined!

  1. Zechariah 11:2 Or “cypress”

11 Open your doors, Lebanon,
    so that fire may devour your cedar forests.
Weep, you cypress trees, for all the ruined cedars;
    the most majestic ones have fallen.
Weep, you oaks of Bashan,
    for the thick forests have been cut down.
Listen to the wailing of the shepherds,
    for their rich pastures are destroyed.
Hear the young lions roaring,
    for their thickets in the Jordan Valley are ruined.
