⁹ The land mourns and withers;^(A)
Lebanon is ashamed and wilted.
Sharon is like a desert;
Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.

² It will blossom abundantly
and will also rejoice with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
the splendour of Carmel and Sharon.^(A)
They will see the glory of the Lord,^(B)
the splendour of our God.^(C)
