Zechariah 11:1-6

1OpenH6605 thy doorsH1817, O LebanonH3844, that the fireH784 may devourH398 thy cedarsH730. 2HowlH3213, fir treeH1265; for the cedarH730 is fallenH5307; because the mightyH117 are spoiledH7703: howlH3213, O ye oaksH437 of BashanH1316; for the forestH3293 of the vintageH1219H1208 is come downH3381.12

3There is a voiceH6963 of the howlingH3215 of the shepherdsH7462; for their gloryH155 is spoiledH7703: a voiceH6963 of the roaringH7581 of young lionsH3715; for the prideH1347 of JordanH3383 is spoiledH7703. 4Thus saithH559 YhwhH3068 my GodH430; FeedH7462 the flockH6629 of the slaughterH2028; 5Whose possessorsH7069 slayH2026 them, and hold themselves not guiltyH816: and they that sellH4376 them sayH559, BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068; for I am richH6238: and their own shepherdsH7462 pityH2550 them not. 6For I will no more pityH2550 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saithH5002 YhwhH3068: but, lo, I will deliverH4672 the menH120 every oneH376 into his neighbour’sH7453 handH3027, and into the handH3027 of his kingH4428: and they shall smiteH3807 the landH776, and out of their handH3027 I will not deliverH5337 them.3
