1. Open your doors, Lebanon,so that fire may devour your cedars!
2. Wail, you juniper, for the cedar has fallen;the stately trees are ruined!Wail, oaks of Bashan;the dense forest has been cut down!
3. Listen to the wail of the shepherds:their rich pastures are destroyed!Listen to the roar of the lions;the lush thicket of the Jordan is ruined!
4. This is what the Lord my God says: ‘Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.
5. Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, “Praise the Lord, I am rich!” Their own shepherds do not spare them.
