22:7 I will send men against it to destroy it
with their axes and hatchets.
They will hack up its fine cedar panels and columns
and throw them into the fire.
10:18 The splendor of his forest and his orchard
will be completely destroyed,
as when a sick man’s life ebbs away.
10:19 There will be so few trees left in his forest,
a child will be able to count them.
27:10 For the fortified city
it is a deserted settlement
and abandoned like the desert.
Calves
they lie down there
and eat its branches bare.
27:11 When its branches get brittle,
women come and use them for kindling.
For these people lack understanding,
therefore the one who made them has no compassion on them;
the one who formed them has no mercy on them.
37:24 Through your messengers you taunted the sovereign master,
‘With my many chariots I climbed up
the high mountains,
the slopes of Lebanon.
I cut down its tall cedars
and its best evergreens.
I invaded its most remote regions,
its thickest woods.
11:1 Open your gates, Lebanon,
so that the fire may consume your cedars.
