OET (OET-RV) 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.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
(Occurrence 0) Lament, cypress trees, for the cedar trees have fallen
(Some words not found in UHB: wail cypress that/for/because/then/when fallen cedar which/who glorious ruined wail oaks_of Bāshān that/for/because/then/when come_down forest_of the,thick )
Cypress trees are spoken of as if they could grieve like a human. Alternate translation: “If the trees were people, they would cry out in sorrow. The cypress trees stand alone because the cedars have burned and fallen”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) What was majestic has been devastated
(Some words not found in UHB: wail cypress that/for/because/then/when fallen cedar which/who glorious ruined wail oaks_of Bāshān that/for/because/then/when come_down forest_of the,thick )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The majestic cedar trees are no more” or “The cedar trees were once majestic, but now they are ruined”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification
(Occurrence 0) Lament, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has gone down.
(Some words not found in UHB: wail cypress that/for/because/then/when fallen cedar which/who glorious ruined wail oaks_of Bāshān that/for/because/then/when come_down forest_of the,thick )
The oaks of Bash are spoken of as if they could grieve like a human. Alternate translation: “If the oak trees in Bashan were people, they would wail, for their thick forests are gone”
11:2 Like Lebanon, Bashan had superb stands of timber. Lebanon and Bashan are often paired (Isa 2:13; Jer 22:20-22; Ezek 27:5-6) in representing nations that God would judge when he would regather and restore the people of Israel (see Zech 10:11).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
