¹³ And for all cedars of Lebanon, The high and the exalted ones, And for all oaks of Bashan,

⁸ Even firs have rejoiced over thee, Cedars of Lebanon -- `saying': Since thou hast lain down, The hewer cometh not up against us.

³³ Lo, the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Is lopping a branch with violence, And the high of stature are cut down, And the lofty are become low,

³⁴ And He hath gone round the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon by a mighty one falleth!

²⁴ By the hand of thy servants Thou hast reviled the Lord, and sayest: In the multitude of my chariots I have come up to a high place of hills, The sides of Lebanon, And I cut down the height of its cedars, The choice of its firs, And I enter the high place of its extremity, The forest of its Carmel.

³ Lo, Asshur, a cedar in Lebanon, Fair in branch, and shading bough, and high in stature, And between thickets hath its foliage been.

⁴ Waters have made it great, The deep hath exalted him with its flowings, Going round about its planting, And its conduits it hath sent forth unto all trees of the field.

⁵ Therefore higher hath been his stature than all trees of the field, And multiplied are his boughs, and long are his branches, Because of many waters in his shooting forth,

⁶ In his boughs made a nest hath every fowl of the heavens, And under his branches brought forth hath every beast of the field, And in his shade dwell do all great nations.

⁷ And he is fair in his greatness, In the length of his thin shoots, For his root hath been by great waters.

⁸ Cedars have not hid him in the garden of God, Firs have not been like unto his boughs, And chesnut-trees have not been as his branches, No tree in the garden of God hath been like unto him in his beauty,

⁹ Fair I have made him in the multitude of his thin shoots, And envy him do all trees of Eden that `are' in the garden of God.

¹⁰ Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because that thou hast been high in stature, And he yieldeth his foliage between thickets, And high is his heart in his haughtiness,

¹¹ I give him into the hand of a god of nations, He dealeth sorely with him, In his wickedness I have cast him out.

¹² And cut him off do strangers, The terrible of nations, and they leave him, On the mountains and in all valleys have his thin shoots fallen, And broken are his boughs at all streams of the land, And go down from his shade do all peoples of the land, and they leave him.

⁵ And I have sent a fire against Judah, And it hath consumed palaces of Jerusalem.

¹ Open, O Lebanon, thy doors, And fire doth devour among thy cedars.

² Howl, O fir, for fallen hath the cedar, For their honourable ones were destroyed, Howl, ye oaks of Bashan, For come down hath the fenced forest,
