6. you are the foundationon which we stand today.You always save us and givetrue wisdom and knowledge.Nothing means more to usthan obeying you.
7. Listen! Our bravest soldiersare running through the streets,screaming for help.Our messengers hoped for peace,but came home crying.
8. No one travels any more;every road is empty.Treaties are broken,and no respect is shownto any who keep promises.
9. Fields are dry and barren;Mount Lebanon wiltswith shame.Sharon Valley is a desert;the forests of Bashan and Carmelhave lost their leaves.
10. But the Lord says,“Now I will do somethingand be greatly praised.
11. Your deeds are strawthat will be set on fireby your very own breath.
