Context Reading
7Behold, their valiant ones cry outside;the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly. 8The highways are desolate.The traveling man ceases.The covenant is broken.He has despised the cities.He doesn’t respect man. 9The land mourns and languishes.Lebanon is confounded and withers away.Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare. 10“Now I will arise,” says Yahweh.“Now I will lift myself up.Now I will be exalted. 11You will conceive chaff.You will give birth to stubble.Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
