isaiah 33:9 The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

isaiah 33:9 The land mourns and pines away, Lebanon is shamed and withers; Sharon is like a desert plain, And Bashan and Carmel lose [their foliage].

9. (Isa 24:4).
Lebanon--personified; the allusion may be to the Assyrian cutting down its choice trees (Isa 14:8; 37:24).
Sharon--south of Carmel, along the Mediterranean, proverbial for fertility (Isa 35:2).
Bashan--afterwards called Batanea (Isa 2:13).
fruits--rather, understand "leaves"; they lie as desolate as in winter.

isaiah 33:9 The land mourns and pines away, Lebanon is shamed and withers; Sharon is like a desert plain, And Bashan and Carmel lose [their foliage].
