Zechariah 11

1Open^H6605 thy doors^H1817, O Lebanon^H3844, that the fire^H784 may devour^H398 thy cedars^H730. 2Wail^H3213, O fir-tree^H1265, for the cedar^H730 is fallen^H5307, because the goodly^H117 ones are destroyed^H7703: wail^H3213, O ye oaks^H437 of Bashan^H1316, for the strong^H1208 forest^H3293 is come down^H3381. 3A voice^H6963 of the wailing^H3215 of the shepherds^H7462! for their glory^H155 is destroyed^H7703: a voice^H6963 of the roaring^H7581 of young lions^H3715! for the pride^H1347 of the Jordan^H3383 is laid waste^H7703. 4Thus said^H559 Jehovah^H3068 my God^H430: Feed^H7462 the flock^H6629 of slaughter^H2028; 5whose possessors^H7069 slay^H2026 them, and hold themselves not guilty^H816; and they that sell^H4376 them say^H559, Blessed^H1288 be Jehovah^H3068, for I am rich^H6238; and their own shepherds^H7462 pity^H2550 them not. 6For I will no more pity^H2550 the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776, saith^H5002 Jehovah^H3068; but, lo, I will deliver^H4672 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 the land^H776, and out of their hand^H3027 I will not deliver^H5337 them. 7So I fed^H7462 the flock^H6629 of slaughter^H2028, verily^H3651 the 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^H2254; and I fed^H7462 the flock^H6629. 8And I cut off^H3582 the three^H7969 shepherds^H7462 in one^H259 month^H3391; for my soul^H5315 was weary^H7114 of them, and their soul^H5315 also loathed^H973 me. 9Then said^H559 I, I will not feed^H7462 you: that which dieth^H4191, let it die^H4191; and that which is to be cut off^H3582, let it be cut off^H3582; and let them that are left^H7604 eat^H398 every one^H802 the flesh^H1320 of another^H7468. 10And I took^H3947 my staff^H4731 Beauty^H5278, and cut it asunder^H1438, that I might break^H6565 my covenant^H1285 which I had made^H3772 with all the peoples^H5971. 11And it was broken^H6565 in that day^H3117; and thus the poor^H6041 of the flock^H6629 that gave heed^H8104 unto me knew^H3045 that it was the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068. 12And I said^H559 unto them, If ye think^H5869 good^H2896, give^H3051 me my hire^H7939; and if not, forbear^H2308. So they weighed^H8254 for my hire thirty^H7970 pieces of silver^H3701. 13And Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 unto me, Cast^H7993 it unto the potter^H3335, the goodly^H145 price^H3366 that I was prized at^H3365 by them. And I took^H3947 the thirty^H7970 pieces of silver^H3701, and cast^H7993 them unto the potter^H3335, in the house^H1004 of Jehovah^H3068. 14Then I cut asunder^H1438 mine other^H8145 staff^H4731, even Bands^H2254, that I might break^H6565 the brotherhood^H264 between Judah^H3063 and Israel^H3478. 15And Jehovah^H3068 said^H559 unto me, Take^H3947 unto thee yet again the instruments^H3627 of a foolish^H196 shepherd^H7462. 16For, lo, I will raise up^H6965 a shepherd^H7462 in the land^H776, who will not visit^H6485 those that are cut off^H3582, neither will seek^H1245 those that are scattered^H5289, nor heal^H7495 that which is broken^H7665, nor feed^H3557 that which is sound^H5324; but he will eat^H398 the flesh^H1320 of the fat^H1277 sheep, and will tear^H6561 their hoofs^H6541 in pieces^H6561. 17Woe^H1945 to the worthless^H457 shepherd^H7473 that leaveth^H5800 the flock^H6629! the sword^H2719 shall be upon his arm^H2220, and upon his right^H3225 eye^H5869: his arm^H2220 shall be clean^H3001 dried up^H3001, and his right^H3225 eye^H5869 shall be utterly^H3543 darkened^H3543.
