Isaiah 33:7-9
Christian Standard Bible
7 Listen! Their warriors cry loudly in the streets;
the messengers of peace weep bitterly.(A)
8 The highways are deserted;
travel has ceased.
An agreement has been broken,(B)
cities[a] despised,
and human life disregarded.
9 The land mourns and withers;(C)
Lebanon is ashamed and wilted.
Sharon is like a desert;
Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
