1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
1
Open your doors, Lebanon, so that fire may devour your cedars!
2 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 .
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 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 .
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!
