Wail, O oaks of Bashan,
bFor the thick forest has come down. 
3 There is the sound of wailing ashepherds!

There is the sound of roaring lions!
For the pride of the Jordan is in ruins.

Zechariah 11:2

Fir - tree - Houses and towns built with firs. The cedar - Much less shall ye escape. Ye Oaks - Used in that country for building palaces, cities, towns, and fortresses. The forest - Jerusalem, compared to a forest, in regard of the many and tall houses in it. In short, all are called to cry, for the miseries that will come upon all. Come down - Is laid desolate.
