9. The earth mourns and languishes,Lebanon is shamed and shriveled;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 lift Myself up.
11. You shall conceive chaff,You shall bring forth stubble;Your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12. And the people shall be like the burnings of lime;Like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.
