Zec 11:1

Zec 11:1Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.

Zec 11:2

Zec 11:2Howl, fir-tree, for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are laid waste: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down.

Zec 11:3

Zec 11:3There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is laid waste.

Zec 11:4

Zec 11:4Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;

Zec 11:5

Zec 11:5Whose 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

Zec 11:6For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor'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

Zec 11:7And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took to me two staffs; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

Zec 11:8

Zec 11:8Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

Zec 11:9

Zec 11:9Then said I, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat, every one the flesh of another.

Zec 11:10

Zec 11:10And 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

Zec 11:11And 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

Zec 11:12And I said to 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

Zec 11:13And the LORD said to me, Cast it to the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

Zec 11:14

Zec 11:14Then I cut asunder my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

Zec 11:15

Zec 11:15And the LORD said to me, Take to thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

Zec 11:16

Zec 11:16For lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who shall not visit those that are cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.

Zec 11:17

Zec 11:17Woe to the idle shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be wholly dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
