7Behold, their valiant ones cry aloud in the streets;
the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
8The highways are deserted;
travel has ceased.
The treaty has been broken,
the witnesses are despised,
and human life is disregarded.
9The land mourns and languishes;
Lebanon is ashamed and decayed.
Sharon is like a desert;
Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
— Isaiah 33:7-9
