But now your brave warriors weep in public.
    Your ambassadors of peace cry in bitter disappointment.
Your roads are deserted;
    no one travels them anymore.
The Assyrians have broken their peace treaty
    and care nothing for the promises they made before witnesses.[a]

    Lebanon withers with shame.
The plain of Sharon is now a wilderness.
    Bashan and Carmel have been plundered.

    no travelers(C) are on the roads.(D)
The treaty is broken,(E)
    its witnesses[a] are despised,
    no one is respected.

    Lebanon(G) is ashamed and withers;(H)
Sharon(I) is like the Arabah,
    and Bashan(J) and Carmel(K) drop their leaves.
