Isaiah 10:18-19

18 The glory of ^ahis forest and of his ^bfruitful land
the Lord will destroy, both soul and body,
and it will be as when a sick man wastes away.
19 The remnant of the trees of his forest will be so few
that a child can write them down.

Isaiah 27:10-11

10 ^cFor the fortified city is solitary,
a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;
there the calf grazes;
there it lies down and strips its branches.
11 When its boughs are dry, they are broken;
women come and make a fire of them.
^dFor this is a people without discernment;
therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
he who formed them will show them no favor.

Isaiah 37:24

24 By your servants you have mocked the Lord,
and you have said, ^eWith my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
to the far recesses of Lebanon,
^fto cut down its tallest cedars,
its choicest cypresses,
to come to its remotest height,
its most fruitful forest.

Jeremiah 22:7

7 ^gI will prepare destroyers against you,
each with his weapons,
^hand they shall cut down your choicest cedars
and cast them into the fire.

Ezekiel 20:46-48

46 ⁱ“Son of man, ^jset your face toward the southland; ^{▼▼Or toward Teman} ^lpreach against the south, and prophesy against the forest land in the Negeb. 47 Say to the forest of the Negeb, Hear the word of the Lord: Thus says the Lord God, Behold, ^mI will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every ⁿgreen tree in you and every ^odry tree. The blazing flame shall not be quenched, and ^pall faces from south to north shall be scorched by it. 48 ^qAll flesh shall see that I the Lord have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.”

Zechariah 11:1

The Flock Doomed to Slaughter

1 Open your doors, ^rO Lebanon,
that the fire may devour your cedars!
