Zechariah 11
Revised Version 1895
1OpenH6605 thy doorsH1817, O LebanonH3844, that the fireH784 may devourH398 thy cedarsH730. 2HowlH3213, O firH1265 tree, for the cedarH730 is fallenH5307, becauseH3588 the goodly onesH117 are spoiled: howlH3213, O ye oaksH437 of BashanH1316, for the strong forestH3293 is comeH3381 downH3381. 3A voiceH6963 of the howling of the shepherdsH7462! for their gloryH155 is spoiled: a voiceH6963 of the roaringH7581 of youngH3715 lionsH3715! for the prideH1347 of JordanH3383 is spoiled. 4ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 my GodH430: FeedH7462 the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028; 5whoseH834 possessors slayH2026 them, and holdH2550 themselvesH5921 notH3808 guiltyH816; and they that sellH4376 them sayH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, for I am richH6238: and their own shepherdsH7462 pityH2550 them notH3808. 6For I will noH3808 moreH5750 pityH2550 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saith the LORDH3068: but, loH2009, I will deliverH5337 the menH376 everyH376 one intoH5921 his neighbour’s handH3027, and intoH5921 the handH3027 of his kingH4428: and they shall smite the landH776, and outH5921 of their handH3027 I will notH3808 deliverH5337 them. 7SoH3651 I fed the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028, verily the poorH6041 of the flockH6629. And I tookH3947 unto meH7121 twoH8147 staves; the one I calledH7121 BeautyH5278, and the otherH259 I calledH7121 Bands; and I fed the flockH6629. 8And I cutH3582 offH3582 the threeH7969 shepherdsH7462 in one monthH3391; for my soulH5315 was weary of them, and their soulH5315 also loathed meH5315. 9Then saidH559 I, I will notH3808 feedH398 youH3808: that that dieth, letH3808 it dieH4191; and that that is to be cutH3582 offH3582, letH3808 it be cutH3582 offH3582; and letH3808 them whichH802 are leftH7604 eatH398 everyH802 one the fleshH1320 of anotherH802. 10And I tookH3947 my staffH4731 BeautyH5278, and cutH3772 it asunderH1438, that I might breakH6565 my covenantH1285 whichH834 I had madeH3772 with allH3605 the peoplesH5971. 11And it was brokenH6565 in that dayH3117: and thusH3651 the poorH6041 of the flockH6629 that gave heedH8104 unto meH8104 knewH3045 that it was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. 12And I saidH559 unto them, IfH518 ye thinkH5869 goodH2896, giveH3051 meH413 my hireH7939; and ifH518 notH3808, forbear. SoH3808 they weighedH8254 for my hireH7939 thirtyH7970 pieces of silverH3701. 13And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, CastH7993 it unto the potterH3335, the goodly priceH3701 that I was prised at of them. And I tookH3947 the thirtyH7970 pieces of silverH3701, and castH7993 them unto the potterH3335, in the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068. 14Then I cutH1438 asunderH1438 mine otherH8145 staffH4731, evenH853 Bands, that I might breakH6565 the brotherhoodH264 betweenH996 JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478. 15And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto meH413, TakeH3947 unto thee yet againH5750 the instrumentsH3627 of a foolishH196 shepherdH7462. 16For, loH2009, I will raiseH6965 upH6965 a shepherdH7462 in the landH776, which shall notH3808 visitH6485 thoseH3588 that be cutH3582 offH6561, neitherH3808 shall seekH1245 thoseH3588 that be scatteredH5289, norH3808 healH7495 that that is brokenH7665; neitherH3808 shall he feedH398 that which is sound, but he shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of the fatH1277, and shall tearH6561 their hoofsH6541 in piecesH7665. 17WoeH1945 to the worthlessH457 shepherdH7473 that leaveth the flockH6629, the swordH2719 shall be uponH5921 his armH2220, and uponH5921 his rightH3225 eyeH5869: his armH2220 shall be clean driedH3001 upH3001, and his rightH3225 eyeH5869 shall be utterly darkened.
