Wail, O fir-tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the goodly ones are destroyed: wail, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest is come down.

Give a cry of grief, O fir-tree, for the fall of the cedar, because the great ones have been made low: give cries of grief, O you oaks of Bashan, for the strong trees of the wood have come down.

Ολολυξον, ελατη, διοτι επεσεν κεδρος· διοτι οι μεγιστανες ηφανισθησαν· ολολυξατε, δρυς της Βασαν, διοτι το δασος το απροσιτον κατεκοπη.

Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
