Zechariah - Chapter: 11

>


11:1	Open, O Lebanon, thy doors, And fire doth devour among thy cedars.
11:2	Howl, O fir, for fallen hath the cedar, For their honourable ones were destroyed, Howl, ye oaks of Bashan, For come down hath the fenced forest,
11:3	A voice of the howling of the shepherds! For destroyed was their robe of honour, A voice of the roaring of young lions! For destroyed was the excellency of Jordan.
11:4	Thus said Jehovah my God: `Feed the flock of the slaughter,
11:5	Whose buyers slay them, and are not guilty, And their sellers say, Blessed `is' Jehovah, And I am rich, And their shepherds have no pity on them.
11:6	For I have pity no more on inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah, And lo, I am causing man to come forth, Each into the hand of his neighbour, And into the hand of his king, And they have beaten down the land, And I do not deliver out of their hand.'
11:7	And I feed the flock of slaughter, even you, ye afflicted of the flock; and I take to me two staves, the one I have called Pleasantness, and the other I have called Bands, and I feed the flock.
11:8	And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and my soul is grieved with them, and also their soul hath abhorred me.
11:9	And I say, `I do not feed you, the dying, let die; and the cut off, let be cut off; and the remaining ones, let each eat the flesh of its neighbour.'
11:10	And I take My staff Pleasantness, and cut it asunder, to make void My covenant that I had made with all the peoples:
11:11	and it is broken in that day, and know well do the afflicted of the flock who are observing me, that it `is' a word of Jehovah.
11:12	And I say unto them: `If good in your eyes, give my hire, and if not, forbear;' and they weigh out my hire -- thirty silverlings.
11:13	And Jehovah saith unto me, `Cast it unto the potter;' the goodly price that I have been prized at by them, and I take the thirty silverlings, and cast them `to' the house of Jehovah, unto the potter.
11:14	And I cut asunder my second staff, Bands, to break the unity between Judah and Israel.
11:15	And Jehovah saith unto me, `Again take to thee the instrument of a foolish shepherd.
11:16	For lo, I am raising up a shepherd in the land, The cut off he doth not inspect, The shaken off he doth not seek, And the broken he doth not heal, The standing he doth not sustain, And the flesh of the fat he doth eat, And their hoofs he doth break off.
11:17	Wo `to' the worthless shepherd, forsaking the flock, A sword `is' on his arm, and on his right eye, His arm is utterly dried up, And his right eye is very dim!'


11:1	Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
11:2	Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.
11:3	There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled.
11:4	Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
11:5	Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
11:6	For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.
11:7	And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.
11:8	Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
11:9	Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
11:10	And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
11:11	And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
11:12	And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.
11:13	And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
11:14	Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
11:15	And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
11:16	For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
11:17	Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.


11:1	Open your doors, O Lebanon, so that the fire may devour your cedars.
11:2	Howl, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the majestic trees have been destroyed. Howl, O oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest has come down.
11:3	A voice of the wailing of the shepherds is heard , for their splendor is destroyed. A voice of the roaring of young lions is heard , for the pride of Jordan is destroyed.
11:4	For so says Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter.
11:5	Those who buy them kill them and are not held guilty. And those who sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich. And their shepherds do not pity them.
11:6	For I will never again pity the inhabitants of the land, says Jehovah. But, lo, I will make the men fall, each one into his neighbor's hand, and into his king's hand. And they shall strike the land, and I will not deliver out of their hand.
11:7	And I fed the flock of slaughter, the truly poor of the flock. And I took two staffs for Myself: the one I called Kindness, and the other I called Union. And I fed the flock.
11:8	I also cut off three shepherds in one month. And My soul despised them, and their soul also detested Me.
11:9	Then I said, I will not feed you; that which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off. And let the rest eat, each woman the flesh of her neighbor.
11:10	And I took My staff Kindness and broke it apart, to break My covenant which I had cut with all the peoples.
11:11	And it was broken in that day, and so the poor of the flock who were watching Me knew that it was the word of Jehovah.
11:12	And I said to them, If it is good in your eyes, give My price; and if not, let it go. And they weighed My price, thirty pieces of silver.
11:13	And Jehovah said to Me, Throw it to the potter, the magnificent price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw it to the potter in the house of Jehovah.
11:14	Then I broke apart My second staff Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
11:15	And Jehovah said to me, Again take to yourself the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
11:16	For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land; he shall not visit those who are cut off, nor will he seek the young, nor will he heal that which is broken, nor will he sustain that which stands. But he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear off their hoofs.
11:17	Woe to the worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! The sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye. His arm shall be completely withered, and his right eye shall be totally darkened.
