11 Open your doors, Lebanon,

so that fire can devour your cedar trees.

2 Wail, cypress trees, because the cedar trees have fallen.

What was majestic has been devastated.

Wail, you Bashan oaks, because the strong forest has come down.

3 Listen to the shepherds wail,

because their pride and joy has been destroyed.

≈Listen to the young lions roaring,

≈because the pride of the Yordan river has been devastated.
