9. The land mourneth, it languisheth; Lebanon is ashamed, is withered; the Sharon is become as a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped.
10. Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.
11. Ye shall conceive dry grass, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath shall devour you as fire.
12. And the peoples shall be as burnings of lime, as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
