9. The earth mourns and languishes;Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down.Sharon is like a wilderness,and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
10. “Now I will rise,” says the Lord,“now I will be exalted,now I will be lifted up.
11. You have conceived chaff,you shall bring forth stubble;My breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12. The people shall be burned to lime,as thorns cut up are burned in the fire.”
