Zechariah 11:1 (WEB) World English Bible

1 Open your doors, Lebanon, That the fire may devour your cedars.
2 Wail, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, Because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, For the strong forest has come down.
3 A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! For their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions! For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
4 Thus says Yahweh my God: "Feed the flock of slaughter.
5 Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, 'Blessed be Yahweh, for I am rich;' and their own shepherds don't pity them.
6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land," says Yahweh; "but, behold, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them."
7 So I fed the flock of slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called "Favor," and the other I called "Union," and I fed the flock.
8 I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
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 those who are left eat each other's flesh."
10 I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
11 It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the word of Yahweh.
12 I said to them, "If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them." So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
13 Yahweh said to me, "Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that I was valued at by them!" I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in the house of Yahweh.
14 Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 Yahweh said to me, "Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16 For, behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword will be on his arm, and on his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!"
1 Open H6605 thy doors, H1817 O Lebanon, H3844 that the fire H784 may devour H398 thy cedars. H730
2 Howl H3213 , fir tree; H1265 for H3588 the cedar H730 is fallen; H5307 because H834 the mighty H117 are spoiled: H7703 howl, H3213 O ye oaks H437 of Bashan; H1316 for H3588 the forest H3293 of the vintage H1208 is come down. H3381
3 There is a voice H6963 of the howling H3215 of the shepherds; H7462 for H3588 their glory H155 is spoiled: H7703 a voice H6963 of the roaring H7581 of young lions; H3715 for H3588 the pride H1347 of Jordan H3383 is spoiled. H7703
4 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 my God; H430 Feed H7462 H853 the flock H6629 of the slaughter; H2028
5 Whose H834 possessors H7069 slay H2026 them , and hold themselves not guilty H816 H3808 : and they that sell H4376 them say, H559 Blessed H1288 be the LORD; H3068 for I am rich: H6238 and their own shepherds H7462 pity H2550 H5921 them not. H3808
6 For H3588 I will no H3808 more H5750 pity H2550 H5921 the inhabitants H3427 of the land, H776 saith H5002 the LORD: H3068 but, lo, H2009 I H595 will deliver H4672 H853 the men H120 every one H376 into his neighbor's H7453 hand, H3027 and into the hand H3027 of his king: H4428 and they shall smite H3807 H853 the land, H776 and out of their hand H4480 H3027 I will not H3808 deliver H5337 them .
7 And I will feed H7462 H853 the flock H6629 of slaughter, H2028 even you , O poor H6041 of the flock. H6629 And I took H3947 unto me two H8147 staves; H4731 the one H259 I called H7121 Beauty, H5278 and the other H259 I called H7121 Bands; H2256 and I fed H7462 H853 the flock. H6629
8 H853 Three H7969 shepherds H7462 also I cut off H3582 in one H259 month; H3391 and my soul H5315 loathed H7114 them , and their soul H5315 also H1571 abhorred H973 me.
9 Then said H559 I , I will not H3808 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 H853 the flesh H1320 of another. H7468
10 And I took H3947 H853 my staff, H4731 even H853 Beauty, H5278 and cut it asunder H1438 H853 , that I might break H6565 H853 my covenant H1285 which H834 I had made H3772 with H854 all H3605 the people. H5971
11 And it was broken H6565 in that H1931 day: H3117 and so H3651 the poor H6041 of the flock H6629 that waited upon H8104 me knew H3045 that H3588 it H1931 was the word H1697 of the LORD. H3068
12 And I said H559 unto H413 them, If H518 ye think good H2895 H5869 , give H3051 me my price; H7939 and if H518 not, H3808 forbear. H2308 So they weighed for H8254 H853 my price H7939 thirty H7970 pieces of silver. H3701
13 And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Cast H7993 it unto H413 the potter: H3335 a goodly H145 price H3366 that H834 I was prised at H3365 of H4480 H5921 them . And I took H3947 the thirty H7970 pieces of silver, H3701 and cast H7993 them to H413 the potter H3335 in the house H1004 of the LORD. H3068
14 Then I cut asunder H1438 H853 mine other H8145 staff, H4731 H853 even Bands, H2256 that I might break H6565 H853 the brotherhood H264 between H996 Judah H3063 and Israel. H3478
15 And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Take H3947 unto thee yet H5750 the instruments H3627 of a foolish H196 shepherd. H7462
16 For H3588 , lo, H2009 I H595 will raise H6965 up a shepherd H7462 in the land, H776 which shall not H3808 visit H6485 those that be cut off, H3582 neither H3808 shall seek H1245 the young one, H5289 nor H3808 heal H7495 that that is broken, H7665 nor H3808 feed H3557 that that standeth still: H5324 but he shall eat H398 the flesh H1320 of the fat, H1277 and tear their claws in pieces H6561 H6541 .
17 Woe H1945 to the idol H457 shepherd H7473 that leaveth H5800 the flock H6629 ! the sword H2719 shall be upon H5921 his arm, H2220 and upon H5921 his right H3225 eye: H5869 his arm H2220 shall be clean dried up H3001 H3001 , and his right H3225 eye H5869 shall be utterly darkened H3543 H3543 .
