Zechariah 11

  1 H6605 Open [H8798]   H1817 thy doors H3844 , O Lebanon H784 , that the fire H398 may devour [H8799]   H730 thy cedars.

  2 H3213 Howl [H8685]   H1265 , fir tree H730 ; for the cedar H5307 is fallen [H8804]   H117 ; because the mighty H7703 are spoiled [H8795]   H3213 : howl [H8685]   H437 , O ye oaks H1316 of Bashan H3293 ; for the forest H1208 of the vintage [H8675]   H1219   [H8803]   H3381 is come down [H8804]  .

  3 H6963 There is a voice H3215 of the howling H7462 of the shepherds [H8802]   H155 ; for their glory H7703 is spoiled [H8795]   H6963 : a voice H7581 of the roaring H3715 of young lions H1347 ; for the pride H3383 of Jordan H7703 is spoiled [H8795]  .

  4 H559 Thus saith [H8804]   H3068 the LORD H430 my God H7462 ; Feed [H8798]   H6629 the flock H2028 of the slaughter;

  5 H7069 Whose possessors [H8802]   H2026 slay [H8799]   H816 them, and hold themselves not guilty [H8799]   H4376 : and they that sell [H8802]   H559 them say [H8799]   H1288 , Blessed [H8803]   H3068 be the LORD H6238 ; for I am rich [H8686]   H7462 : and their own shepherds [H8802]   H2550 pity [H8799]   them not.

  6 H2550 For I will no more pity [H8799]   H3427 the inhabitants [H8802]   H776 of the land H5002 , saith [H8803]   H3068 the LORD H4672 : but, lo, I will deliver [H8688]   H120 the men H376 every one H7453 into his neighbour's H3027 hand H3027 , and into the hand H4428 of his king H3807 : and they shall smite [H8765]   H776 the land H3027 , and out of their hand H5337 I will not deliver [H8686]   them .

  7 H7462 And I will feed [H8799]   H6629 the flock H2028 of slaughter H3651 , even you H6041 , O poor H6629 of the flock H3947 . And I took [H8799]   H8147 unto me two H4731 staves H259 ; the one H7121 I called [H8804]   H5278 Beauty H259 , and the other H7121 I called [H8804]   H2254 Bands [H8802]   H7462 ; and I fed [H8799]   H6629 the flock.

  8 H7969 Three H7462 shepherds [H8802]   H3582 also I cut off [H8686]   H259 in one H3391 month H5315 ; and my soul H7114 lothed [H8799]   H5315 them, and their soul H973 also abhorred [H8804]   me.

  9 H559 Then said [H8799]   H7462 I, I will not feed [H8799]   H4191 you: that that dieth [H8801]   H4191 , let it die [H8799]   H3582 ; and that that is to be cut off [H8737]   H3582 , let it be cut off [H8735]   H7604 ; and let the rest [H8737]   H398 eat [H8799]   H802 every one H1320 the flesh H7468 of another.

  10 H3947 And I took [H8799]   H4731 my staff H5278 , even Beauty H1438 , and cut it asunder [H8799]   H6565 , that I might break [H8687]   H1285 my covenant H3772 which I had made [H8804]   H5971 with all the people.

  11 H6565 And it was broken [H8714]   H3117 in that day H6041 : and so the poor H6629 of the flock H8104 that waited [H8802]   H3045 upon me knew [H8799]   H1697 that it was the word H3068 of the LORD.

  12 H559 And I said [H8799]   H5869 unto them, If ye think H2896 good H3051 , give [H8798]   H7939 me my price H2308 ; and if not, forbear [H8798]   H8254 . So they weighed [H8799]   H7939 for my price H7970 thirty H3701 pieces of silver.

  13 H3068 And the LORD H559 said [H8799]   H7993 unto me, Cast [H8685]   H3335 it unto the potter [H8802]   H145 : a goodly H3366 price H3365 that I was prised at [H8804]   H3947 of them. And I took [H8799]   H7970 the thirty H3701 pieces of silver H7993 , and cast [H8686]   H3335 them to the potter [H8802]   H1004 in the house H3068 of the LORD.

  14 H1438 Then I cut asunder [H8799]   H8145 mine other H4731 staff H2254 , even Bands [H8802]   H6565 , that I might break [H8687]   H264 the brotherhood H3063 between Judah H3478 and Israel.

  15 H3068 And the LORD H559 said [H8799]   H3947 unto me, Take [H8798]   H3627 unto thee yet the instruments H196 of a foolish H7462 shepherd [H8802]  .

  16 H6965 For, lo, I will raise up [H8688]   H7462 a shepherd [H8802]   H776 in the land H6485 , which shall not visit [H8799]   H3582 those that be cut off [H8737]   H1245 , neither shall seek [H8762]   H5289 the young one H7495 , nor heal [H8762]   H7665 that that is broken [H8737]   H3557 , nor feed [H8770]   H5324 that that standeth [H8737]   H398 still: but he shall eat [H8799]   H1320 the flesh H1277 of the fat H6561 , and tear H6541 their claws H6561 in pieces [H8762]  .

  17 H1945 Woe H457 to the idol H7473 shepherd H5800 that leaveth [H8802]   H6629 the flock H2719 ! the sword H2220 shall be upon his arm H3225 , and upon his right H5869 eye H2220 : his arm H3001 shall be clean [H8800]   H3001 dried up [H8799]   H3225 , and his right H5869 eye H3543 shall be utterly [H8800]   H3543 darkened [H8799]  .
