By thy messengers thou hast defied the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir-trees thereof; and I will enter into his farthest lodging-place, the forest of his fruitful field.
Yea, the fir-trees rejoice at thee, (and) the cedars of Lebanon, (saying), Since thou art laid low, no hewer is come up against us.
But it shall hail in the downfall of the forest; and the city shall be utterly laid low.
