And it will be as when a sick man wastes away.

“Through your servants you have taunted and defied the Lord,
And you have said, ‘With my many chariots I have gone up to the heights of the mountains,

And I will go to its remotest height, its most luxuriant and thickest forest.

Open your doors, O Lebanon,
That fire may devour your cedars.
