11 Lebanon, open your gates
    so fire may burn your cedar trees.[a]
Cry, pine trees, because the cedar has fallen,
    because the tall trees are ruined.
Cry, oaks in Bashan,
    because the mighty forest has been cut down.
Listen to the shepherds crying
    because their rich pastures are destroyed.
Listen to the lions roaring
    because the lovely land of the Jordan River is ruined.
