Zechariah 11 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Wail ^H3213, O [fn]cypress ^H1265, for the cedar ^H730 has fallen ^H5307,

Because ^H834 the mighty ^H117 trees have been destroyed ^H7703;

Wail ^H3213, O oaks ^H437 of Bashan ^H1316,

For the [fn]impenetrable ^H1219 forest ^H3293 has come ^H3381 down ^H3381.

There is a sound ^H6963 of the shepherds’ ^H7462 wail ^H3215,

For their might ^H155 is destroyed ^H7703;

There is a sound ^H6963 of the young ^H3715 lions’ ^H3715 roar ^H7581,

For the [fn]pride ^H1347 of the Jordan ^H3383 is destroyed ^H7703.

Thus ^H3541 says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068 my God ^H430, “Shepherd ^H7462 the flock ^H6629 doomed to slaughter ^H2028.

So I shepherded ^H7462 the flock ^H6629 doomed to slaughter ^H2028—[fn]hence ^H3651 the afflicted ^H6041 of the flock ^H6629. And I took ^H3947 for myself two ^H8147 staffs ^H4731: the one ^H259 I called ^H7121 [fn]Favor ^H5278, and the other ^H259 I called ^H7121 [fn]Union ^H2254; so I shepherded ^H7462 the flock ^H6629.

Then Yahweh ^H3068 said ^H559 to me, “Take ^H3947 again ^H5750 for yourself the equipment ^H3627 of a [fn]foolish ^H196 shepherd ^H7462.

“Woe ^H1945 to the worthless ^H457 shepherd ^H7473

Who forsakes ^H5800 the flock ^H6629!

A sword ^H2719 will be on his arm ^H2220

And on his right ^H3225 eye ^H5869!

His arm ^H2220 will be totally ^H3001 dried ^H3001 up ^H3001,

And his right ^H3225 eye ^H5869 will be utterly dimmed ^H3543.”
