Woe to the Worthless Shepherd

1Open your doors, O Lebanon,

That a afire may consume your bcedars.

2Wail, O 1cypress, for the cedar has fallen,

Because the mighty trees have been destroyed;

Wail, O oaks of Bashan,

For the 2impenetrable forest has come down.

3There is a sound of the shepherds’ awail,

For their might is destroyed;

There is a bsound of the young lions’ roar,

For the 1pride of the Jordan is destroyed.
