And you have said, ‘With my many chariots I came up to the heights of the mountains,
To the remotest parts of Lebanon;

Each with his weapons;
And they will cut down your choicest cedars
And throw them on the fire.

Open your doors, O Lebanon,
That a fire may feed on your cedars.

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap.
