7 Behold, their brave men cry in the streets;
The amessengers of peace weep bitterly.
8 The highways are desolate, the atraveler has ceased;
He has bbroken the covenant, he has rejected the cities;
He has no regard for man.
9 aThe land mourns and languishes,
bLebanon is humiliated and withers;
cSharon is like a desert plain,
And Bashan and Carmel lose their foliage.
