Zechariah 11 (NET) New English Translation

1 Open your gates, Lebanon, so that the fire may consume your cedars.
2 Howl, fir tree, because the cedar has fallen; the majestic trees have been destroyed. Howl, oaks of Bashan, because the impenetrable forest has fallen.
3 Listen to the howling of shepherds, because their magnificence has been destroyed. Listen to the roaring of young lions, because the thickets of the Jordan have been devastated.
4 The LORD my God says this: "Shepherd the flock set aside for slaughter.
5 Those who buy them slaughter them and are not held guilty; those who sell them say, 'Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich.' Their own shepherds have no compassion for them.
6 Indeed, I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land," says the LORD, "but instead I will turn every last person over to his neighbor and his king. They will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from them."
7 So I began to shepherd the flock destined for slaughter, the most afflicted of all the flock. Then I took two staffs, calling one "Pleasantness" and the other "Binders," and I tended the flock.
8 Next I eradicated the three shepherds in one month, for I ran out of patience with them and, indeed, they detested me as well.
9 I then said, "I will not shepherd you. What is to die, let it die, and what is to be eradicated, let it be eradicated. As for those who survive, let them eat each other's flesh!"
10 Then I took my staff "Pleasantness" and cut it in two to annul my covenant that I had made with all the people.
11 So it was annulled that very day, and then the most afflicted of the flock who kept faith with me knew that that was the word of the LORD.
12 Then I said to them, "If it seems good to you, pay me my wages, but if not, forget it." So they weighed out my payment— thirty pieces of silver.
13 The LORD then said to me, "Throw to the potter that exorbitant sum at which they valued me!" So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the temple of the LORD.
14 Then I cut the second staff "Binders" in two in order to annul the covenant of brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Again the LORD said to me, "Take up once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16 Indeed, I am about to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not take heed to the sheep headed to slaughter, will not seek the scattered, and will not heal the injured. Moreover, he will not nourish the one that is healthy but instead will eat the meat of the fat sheep and tear off their hooves.
17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! May a sword fall on his arm and his right eye! May his arm wither completely away, and his right eye become completely blind!"
1 Open H6605 thy doors H1817 , O Lebanon H3844 , that the fire H784 CMS may devour H398 thy cedars H730 .
2 Howl H3213 , fir tree H1265 ; for H3588 CONJ the cedar H730 is fallen H5307 ; because H834 RPRO the mighty H117 are spoiled H7703 : howl H3213 , O ye oaks H437 of Bashan H1316 ; for H3588 CONJ the forest H3293 of the vintage H1208 is come down H3381 VQQ3MS .
3 There is a voice H6963 CMS of the howling H3215 of the shepherds H7462 ; for H3588 CONJ their glory H155 is spoiled H7703 : a voice H6963 CMS of the roaring H7581 CFS of young lions H3715 NMP ; for H3588 CONJ the pride H1347 CMS of Jordan H3383 is spoiled H7703 .
4 Thus H3541 saith H559 VQQ3MS the LORD H3068 EDS my God H430 ; Feed H7462 the flock H6629 NMS of the slaughter H2028 ;
5 Whose H834 RPRO possessors H7069 slay H2026 them , and hold themselves not guilty H816 : and they that sell H4376 them say H559 VQY3MS , Blessed H1288 VWQ3MS be the LORD H3068 EDS ; for I am rich H6238 : and their own shepherds H7462 pity H2550 VQY3MS them not H3808 W-NPAR .
6 For H3588 CONJ I will no H3808 NADV more H5750 ADV pity H2550 the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 D-GFS , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 EDS : but , lo H2009 IJEC , I H595 PPRO-1MS will deliver H4672 the men H120 D-NMS every one H376 NMS into his neighbor H7453 NMS-3MS \'s hand H3027 B-CFS , and into the hand H3027 of his king H4428 : and they shall smite H3807 the land H776 D-GFS , and out of their hand H3027 I will not H3808 W-NADV deliver H5337 them .
7 And I will feed H7462 the flock H6629 NMS of slaughter H2028 , even you , O poor H6041 of the flock H6629 . And I took H3947 unto me two H8147 ONUM staves H4731 ; the one H259 I called H7121 VQQ1CS Beauty H5278 , and the other H259 I called H7121 VQQ1CS Bands H2256 ; and I fed H7462 the flock H6629 .
8 Three H7969 BMS shepherds H7462 also I cut off H3582 in one H259 MMS month H3391 ; and my soul H5315 CFS-1MS loathed H7114 them , and their soul H5315 CFS-3MP also H1571 W-CONJ abhorred H973 me .
9 Then said H559 W-VQY1MS I , I will not H3808 NADV feed H7462 you : that that dieth H4191 , let it die H4191 ; and that that is to be cut off H3582 , let it be cut off H3582 ; and let the rest H7604 eat H398 every one H802 NFS the flesh H1320 CMS of another H7468 .
10 And I took H3947 my staff H4731 , even Beauty H5278 , and cut it asunder H1438 , that I might break H6565 my covenant H1285 B-CFS-1MS which H834 RPRO I had made H3772 VQQ1MS with H854 PREP all H3605 NMS the people H5971 .
11 And it was broken H6565 in that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS : and so H3651 ADV the poor H6041 of the flock H6629 that waited upon H8104 me knew H3045 W-VQY3MP that H3588 CONJ it H1931 PPRO-3MS was the word H1697 NMS of the LORD H3068 EDS .
12 And I said H559 W-VQY1MS unto H413 PREP-3MP them , If H518 PART ye think good H2895 , give H3051 VQI2MP me my price H7939 ; and if H518 PART not H3808 NADV , forbear H2308 . So they weighed for my price H7939 thirty H7970 MMP pieces of silver H3701 NMS .
13 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 PREP me , Cast H7993 it unto H413 PREP the potter H3335 : a goodly H145 price H3366 that H834 RPRO I was prised at H3365 of M-PREP-3MP them .

14 Then I cut asunder H1438 mine other H8145 D-ONUM staff H4731 , even Bands H2256 , that I might break H6565 the brotherhood H264 between H996 PREP Judah H3063 and Israel H3478 LMS .
15 And the LORD H3068 EDS said H559 W-VQY3MS unto H413 me , Take H3947 VQI2MS unto thee yet H5750 ADV the instruments H3627 CMS of a foolish H196 shepherd H7462 VQPMS .
16 For H3588 CONJ , lo H2009 IJEC , I H595 PPRO-1MS will raise H6965 VHPMS up a shepherd H7462 VQPMS in the land H776 B-NFS , which shall not H3808 ADV visit H6485 VQY3MS those that be cut off H3582 , neither H3808 ADV shall seek H1245 the young one H5289 , nor H3808 NADV heal H7495 that that is broken H7665 , nor H3808 NADV feed H3557 that that standeth still H5324 : but he shall eat H398 VQY3MS the flesh H1320 of the fat H1277 , and tear their claws in pieces H6561 .
17 Woe H1945 to the idol H457 shepherd H7473 that leaveth H5800 the flock H6629 ! the sword H2719 GFS shall be upon H5921 PREP his arm H2220 , and upon H5921 PREP his right H3225 CFS-3MS eye H5869 CMS : his arm H2220 shall be clean dried up H3001 , and his right H3225 CFS-3MS eye H5869 W-CMS shall be utterly darkened H3543 .
