Zechariah 11:1-17

Open
<06605> (8798)
thy doors
<01817>_,
O Lebanon
<03844>_,
that the fire
<0784>
may devour
<0398> (8799)
thy cedars
<0730>_.
Howl
<03213> (8685)_,
fir tree
<01265>_;
for the cedar
<0730>
is fallen
<05307> (8804)_;
because the mighty
<0117>
are spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:
howl
<03213> (8685)_,
O ye oaks
<0437>
of Bashan
<01316>_;
for the forest
<03293>
of the vintage
<01208> (8675) <01219> (8803)
is come down
<03381> (8804)_.
{mighty: or, gallants} {the forest...: or, the defenced forest}
[There is] a voice
<06963>
of the howling
<03215>
of the shepherds
<07462> (8802)_;
for their glory
<0155>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:
a voice
<06963>
of the roaring
<07581>
of young lions
<03715>_;
for the pride
<01347>
of Jordan
<03383>
is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_.
Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_;
Feed
<07462> (8798)
the flock
<06629>
of the slaughter
<02028>_;
Whose possessors
<07069> (8802)
slay
<02026> (8799)
them, and hold themselves not guilty
<0816> (8799)_:
and they that sell
<04376> (8802)
them say
<0559> (8799)_,
Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>_;
for I am rich
<06238> (8686)_:
and their own shepherds
<07462> (8802)
pity
<02550> (8799)
them not.
For I will no more pity
<02550> (8799)
the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)
of the land
<0776>_,
saith
<05002> (8803)
the LORD
<03068>_:
but, lo, I will deliver
<04672> (8688)
the men
<0120>
every one
<0376>
into his neighbour's
<07453>
hand
<03027>_,
and into the hand
<03027>
of his king
<04428>_:
and they shall smite
<03807> (8765)
the land
<0776>_,
and out of their hand
<03027>
I will not deliver
<05337> (8686)
[them]. {deliver: Heb. make to be found}
And I will feed
<07462> (8799)
the flock
<06629>
of slaughter
<02028>_,
[even] you
<03651>_,
O poor
<06041>
of the flock
<06629>_.
And I took
<03947> (8799)
unto me two
<08147>
staves
<04731>_;
the one
<0259>
I called
<07121> (8804)
Beauty
<05278>_,
and the other
<0259>
I called
<07121> (8804)
Bands
<02254> (8802)_;
and I fed
<07462> (8799)
the flock
<06629>_.
{even...: or, verily the poor} {Bands: or, Binders}
Three
<07969>
shepherds
<07462> (8802)
also I cut off
<03582> (8686)
in one
<0259>
month
<03391>_;
and my soul
<05315>
lothed
<07114> (8799)
them, and their soul
<05315>
also abhorred
<0973> (8804)
me. {lothed...: Heb. was straightened for them}
Then said
<0559> (8799)
I, I will not feed
<07462> (8799)
you: that that dieth
<04191> (8801)_,
let it die
<04191> (8799)_;
and that that is to be cut off
<03582> (8737)_,
let it be cut off
<03582> (8735)_;
and let the rest
<07604> (8737)
eat
<0398> (8799)
every one
<0802>
the flesh
<01320>
of another
<07468>_.
{another: Heb. his fellow, or, neighbour}
And I took
<03947> (8799)
my staff
<04731>_,
[even] Beauty
<05278>_,
and cut it asunder
<01438> (8799)_,
that I might break
<06565> (8687)
my covenant
<01285>
which I had made
<03772> (8804)
with all the people
<05971>_.
And it was broken
<06565> (8714)
in that day
<03117>_:
and so the poor
<06041>
of the flock
<06629>
that waited
<08104> (8802)
upon me knew
<03045> (8799)
that it [was] the word
<01697>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
{so...: or, the poor of the flock, etc. certainly knew}
And I said
<0559> (8799)
unto them, If ye think
<05869>
good
<02896>_,
give
<03051> (8798)
[me] my price
<07939>_;
and if not, forbear
<02308> (8798)_.
So they weighed
<08254> (8799)
for my price
<07939>
thirty
<07970>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_.
{If ye...: Heb. If it be good in your eyes}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Cast
<07993> (8685)
it unto the potter
<03335> (8802)_:
a goodly
<0145>
price
<03366>
that I was prised at
<03365> (8804)
of them. And I took
<03947> (8799)
the thirty
<07970>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,
and cast
<07993> (8686)
them to the potter
<03335> (8802)
in the house
<01004>
of the LORD
<03068>_.
Then I cut asunder
<01438> (8799)
mine other
<08145>
staff
<04731>_,
[even] Bands
<02254> (8802)_,
that I might break
<06565> (8687)
the brotherhood
<0264>
between Judah
<03063>
and Israel
<03478>_.
{Bands: or, Binders}
And the LORD
<03068>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto me, Take
<03947> (8798)
unto thee yet the instruments
<03627>
of a foolish
<0196>
shepherd
<07462> (8802)_.
For, lo, I will raise up
<06965> (8688)
a shepherd
<07462> (8802)
in the land
<0776>_,
[which] shall not visit
<06485> (8799)
those that be cut off
<03582> (8737)_,
neither shall seek
<01245> (8762)
the young one
<05289>_,
nor heal
<07495> (8762)
that that is broken
<07665> (8737)_,
nor feed
<03557> (8770)
that that standeth
<05324> (8737)
still: but he shall eat
<0398> (8799)
the flesh
<01320>
of the fat
<01277>_,
and tear
<06561> (0)
their claws
<06541>
in pieces
<06561> (8762)_.
{cut off: or, hidden} {feed: or, bear}
Woe
<01945>
to the idol
<0457>
shepherd
<07473>
that leaveth
<05800> (8802)
the flock
<06629>_!
the sword
<02719>
[shall be] upon his arm
<02220>_,
and upon his right
<03225>
eye
<05869>_:
his arm
<02220>
shall be clean
<03001> (8800)
dried up
<03001> (8799)_,
and his right
<03225>
eye
<05869>
shall be utterly
<03543> (8800)
darkened
<03543> (8799)_.
