Zechariah 11:1-2
New English Translation

The History and Future of Judah’s Wicked Kings

11 Open your gates, Lebanon,
so that the fire may consume your cedars.[a]
2 Howl, fir tree,
because the cedar has fallen;
the majestic trees have been destroyed.
Howl, oaks of Bashan,
because the impenetrable forest has fallen.
