Zechariah 11:1-10
1OpenH6605 thy doorsH1817, O LebanonH3844, that the fireH784 may devourH398 thy cedarsH730. 2WailH3213, fir treeH1265; for the cedarH730 is fallenH5307; because the mightyH117 are laid wasteH7703: wailH3213, O ye oaksH437 of BashanH1316; for the forestH3293 of the vintageH1208H1219 is come downH3381.12 3There is a voiceH6963 of the wailingH3215 of the shepherdsH7462; for their gloryH155 is destroyedH7703: a voiceH6963 of the roaringH7581 of young lionsH3715; for the prideH1347 of JordanH3383 is laid wasteH7703.
4Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 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 the LORDH3068; for I am richH6238: and their own shepherdsH7462 pityH2550 them not. 6For I will no more pityH2550 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saithH5002 the LORDH3068: 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 7And I will feedH7462 the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028, even youH3651, O poorH6041 of the flockH6629. And I tookH3947 to me twoH8147 staffsH4731; the oneH259 I calledH7121 BeautyH5278, and the otherH259 I calledH7121 BandsH2254; and I fedH7462 the flockH6629.45 8ThreeH7969 shepherdsH7462 also I cut offH3582 in oneH259 monthH3391; and my soulH5315 lothedH7114 them, and their soulH5315 also abhorredH973 me.6 9Then saidH559 I, I will not feedH7462 you: that which diethH4191, let it dieH4191; and that which is to be cut offH3582, let it be cut offH3582; and let the restH7604 eatH398 every oneH802 the fleshH1320 of anotherH7468.7 10And I tookH3947 my staffH4731, even BeautyH5278, and cut it asunderH1438, that I might breakH6565 my covenantH1285 which I had madeH3772 with all the peopleH5971.
