Zechariah 11:1
chevron_left
chevron_right
Open thy doors,
O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
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.
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.
4
Thus saith the
L
ORD
my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
5
Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed
be
the
L
ORD
; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
6
For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the
L
ORD
: 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
.
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.
8
Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
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.
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.
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
L
ORD
.
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.
13
And the
L
ORD
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
L
ORD
.
14
Then I cut asunder mine other staff,
even
Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15
And the
L
ORD
said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
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.
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.
