ZEC-11:1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy
cedars.
ZEC-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.
ZEC-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.
ZEC-11:4 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the
slaughter;
ZEC-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.
ZEC-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].
ZEC-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.
ZEC-11:8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my
soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
ZEC-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.
ZEC-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.
ZEC-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.
ZEC-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.
ZEC-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.
ZEC-11:14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, [even] Bands,
that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
ZEC-11:15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the
instruments of a foolish shepherd.
ZEC-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.
ZEC-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.
