Isaiah 33:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ Listen to the valiant cry aloud in the streets for help;
    the ambassadors who seek peace weep bitterly.
⁸ The highways are deserted;
    no longer are there any travelers on the road.
Treaties are broken and their terms are ignored;
    no one is deemed worthy of respect.
⁹ The land languishes in mourning;
    Lebanon withers in its shame.
Sharon has become a desert;
    Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.^[a]
