Zechariah 11:1-6
1OpenH6605 your doorsH1817, O LebanonH3844, That a 1fireH784 may feedH398 on your 2cedarsH730.2WailH3213, O 3cypressH1265, for the cedarH730 has fallenH5307, BecauseH834 the gloriousH117 trees have been destroyedH7703; WailH3213, O oaksH437 of BashanH1316, For the 4impenetrableH1219 forestH3293 has comeH3381 downH3381.3There is a soundH6963 of the shepherds’H7462 5wailH3215, For their gloryH155 is ruinedH7703; There is a 6soundH6963 of the youngH3715 lions’H3715 roarH7581, For the 7prideH1347 of the JordanH3383 is ruinedH7703.
4ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 my GodH430, “PastureH7462 the flockH6629 doomed to 8slaughterH2028. 5Those whoH834 buyH7069 them slayH2026 them and 9goH816 10unpunishedH3808H816, and each of those who sellH4376 them saysH559, ‘BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, for 11I have becomeH6238 richH6238!’ And their 12own shepherdsH7462 haveH2550 noH3808 pityH2550 on them. 6For I will 13noH3808 longerH5750 haveH2550 pityH2550 on the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068; “but beholdH2009, I will 14cause the menH120 to 15fallH4672, eachH376 into another’sH7453 16powerH3027 and into the 17powerH3027 of his kingH4428; and they will strikeH3807 the landH776, and I will 18not deliverH5337 them from their 19powerH3027.”
