In biblical times, it was a region north of Israel, renowned for its natural resources. The call to "cry out" suggests a plea for help or lamentation. This phrase indicates a sense of desperation and urgency, as Lebanon was a place of refuge and strength. The imagery of going up to Lebanon may also imply seeking assistance from powerful allies, which in the context of Jeremiah, would be futile.<p><b>raise your voice in Bashan;</b><br>Bashan was a fertile region east of the Jordan River, known for its rich pastures and strong cattle. It represents abundance and prosperity. The instruction to "raise your voice" here suggests a public declaration or a cry for attention. Historically, Bashan was a place of strength and security, but the call to cry out indicates that even these strongholds are powerless to save. This reflects the broader theme of misplaced trust in earthly powers rather than in God.<p><b>cry out from Abarim,</b><br>Abarim is a mountain range east of the Jordan River, associated with the final journey of Moses before his death (<a href="/deuteronomy/32-49.htm">Deuteronomy 32:49</a>). It symbolizes transition and the threshold of entering the Promised Land. The call to cry out from Abarim suggests a lament from a place of historical significance, highlighting the gravity of the situation. It underscores the idea of being on the brink of change, yet facing destruction due to disobedience.<p><b>for all your lovers have been crushed.</b><br>"Lovers" here metaphorically refers to the political alliances and foreign nations that Judah relied upon instead of trusting in God. These alliances, often formed through treaties and marriages, were seen as unfaithfulness to God, akin to spiritual adultery. The phrase "have been crushed" indicates the complete failure and destruction of these alliances. This serves as a warning against relying on human strength and wisdom, emphasizing the futility of trusting in anything other than God. This theme is echoed throughout the prophetic books, where reliance on foreign powers is consistently condemned (<a href="/isaiah/31.htm">Isaiah 31:1</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/l/lebanon.htm">Lebanon</a></b><br>A region known for its majestic cedar trees, often symbolizing strength and pride.
