Lebanon, open your gates
so fire may burn your cedar trees. n
2Cry, pine trees, because the cedar has fallen,
because the tall trees are ruined.
Cry, oaks in Bashan,
because the mighty forest has been cut down.
3Listen to the shepherds crying
because their rich pastures are destroyed.
Listen to the lions roaring
because the lovely land of the Jordan River is ruined.

Weep, you cypress trees, for all the ruined cedars;
the most majestic ones have fallen.

KJV 1900King James Version
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled:
Howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled:
A voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
