By thy messengers thou hast reproached the Lord, and hast said, With the multitude of my chariots I am come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon, and will cut down the tall cedar trees thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the lodgings of his borders, and into the forest of his Carmel. The tall cedar trees - the choice fir trees - Probably meaning the princes and nobles of the country.
The forest of his Carmel - Better in the margin: the forest and his fruitful field.
