Isaiah 33:8-10

The Voice

⁸ The roads are empty; no one ventures out.
    The Assyrians have broken their treaty,
Disavowing the promises they made before witnesses.
    They show no respect for anyone.
⁹ The land itself, like a new widow, grieves and wastes away.
    Lush Lebanon decays, once-rose-covered Sharon looks like a desert,
And the tree-topped mountains of Bashan and Carmel
    are completely denuded.
