Zechariah 11

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

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

  3 H6963 There is a voice H3215 of the wailing H7462 [H8802] of the shepherds; H155 for their ample garment H7703 [H8795] is laid waste: H6963 a voice H7581 of the roaring H3715 of young lions; H1347 for the pride H3383 of Jordan H7703 [H8795] is laid waste.

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

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

  6 H3588 For H3808 I will no H5750 more H2550 [H8799] commiserate H5921 on H3427 [H8802] the inhabitants H9009 of the H776 land, H5002 [H8803] saith H3068 the LORD: H9002 but, H2009 lo, H595 I H4672 0 am causing H9009 the H120 man H4672 [H8688] to be found, H376 every one H9003 into H9023 his H7453 neighbour's H3027 hand, H9002 and H9003 into H3027 the hand H9023 of his H4428 king: H9001 and H3807 [H8765] they shall bruise H9009 the H776 land, H9002 and H9006 out of H9028 their H3027 hand H5337 0 I will H3808 not H5337 [H8686] deliver them.

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

  8 H7969 Three H7462 [H8802] shepherds H3582 [H8686] also I secrete H259 in one H3391 month; H5315 and my breath H7114 [H8799] is shortened H5315 for them, and their breath H973 [H8804] also abhorred me.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  16 H6965 [H8688] For, lo, I will raise up H7462 [H8802] a shepherd H776 in the land, H6485 [H8799] who shall not visit H3582 [H8737] those that are secreted, H1245 [H8762] neither shall seek H5289 the young one, H7495 [H8762] nor heal H7665 [H8737] that which is broken, H3557 [H8770] nor feed H5324 [H8737] that which standeth H398 [H8799] still: but he shall eat H1320 the flesh H1277 of the fat, H6561 0 and tear H6541 their claws H6561 [H8762] in pieces.

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