<p class="poetry">The land<n id="1" /> dries up<n id="2" /> and withers away;p> <p class="poetry">the forest of Lebanon shrivels up<n id="3" /> and decays.p> <p class="poetry">Sharon<n id="4" /> is like the desert;<n id="5" />p> <p class="poetry">Bashan and Carmel<n id="6" /> are parched.<n id="7" />p>

All the land will change and become like the Arabah<n id="1" /> from Geba to Rimmon,<n id="2" /> south of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem will be raised up and will stay in its own place from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the First Gate<n id="3" /> and on to the Corner Gate,<n id="4" /> and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses.<n id="5" />
