New King James Version
Desolation of Israel
11 Open (A)your doors, O Lebanon,
That fire may devour your cedars.
2 Wail, O cypress, for the (B)cedar has fallen,
Because the mighty trees are ruined.
Wail, O oaks of Bashan,
(C)For the thick forest has come down.
Amos 2:5
New King James Version
5 (A)But I will send a fire upon Judah,
And it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.”
Ezekiel 31:3-12
New King James Version
3 (A)Indeed Assyria was a cedar in Lebanon,
With fine branches that shaded the forest,
And of high stature;
And its top was among the thick boughs.
4 (B)The waters made it grow;
Underground waters gave it height,
With their rivers running around the place where it was planted,
And sent out [a]rivulets to all the trees of the field.
5 ‘Therefore (C)its height was exalted above all the trees of the field;
Its boughs were multiplied,
And its branches became long because of the abundance of water,
As it sent them out.
6 All the (D)birds of the heavens made their nests in its boughs;
Under its branches all the beasts of the field brought forth their young;
And in its shadow all great nations [b]made their home.
7 ‘Thus it was beautiful in greatness and in the length of its branches,
Because its roots reached to abundant waters.
8 The cedars in the (E)garden of God could not hide it;
The fir trees were not like its boughs,
And the [c]chestnut trees were not like its branches;
No tree in the garden of God was like it in beauty.
9 I made it beautiful with a multitude of branches,
So that all the trees of Eden envied it,
That were in the garden of God.’
10 “Therefore thus says the Lord God: ‘Because you have increased in height, and it set its top among the thick boughs, and (F)its heart was [d]lifted up in its height, 11 therefore I will deliver it into the hand of the (G)mighty one of the nations, and he shall surely deal with it; I have driven it out for its wickedness. 12 And aliens, (H)the most terrible of the nations, have cut it down and left it; its branches have fallen (I)on the mountains and in all the valleys; its boughs lie (J)broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the peoples of the earth have gone from under its shadow and left it.

Isaiah 37:24
New King James Version
24 By your servants you have reproached the Lord,
And said, ‘By the multitude of my chariots
I have come up to the height of the mountains,
To the limits of Lebanon;
I will cut down its tall cedars
And its choice cypress trees;
I will enter its farthest height,
To its fruitful forest.
Isaiah 10:33-34
New King James Version
33 Behold, the Lord,
The Lord of hosts,
Will lop off the bough with terror;
(A)Those of high stature will be hewn down,
And the haughty will be humbled.
34 He will cut down the thickets of the forest with iron,
And Lebanon will fall by the Mighty One.
