Zechariah 11:1-17

11:1

Open
<06605> (8798)

thy doors
<01817>_,

O Lebanon
<03844>_,

that the fire
<0784>

may devour
<0398> (8799)

thy cedars
<0730>_.

11:2

Howl
<03213> (8685)_,

fir tree
<01265>_;

for the cedar
<0730>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)_;

because the mighty
<0117>

are spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:

howl
<03213> (8685)_,

O ye oaks
<0437>

of Bashan
<01316>_;

for the forest
<03293>

of the vintage
<01208> (8675) <01219> (8803)

is come down
<03381> (8804)_.

{mighty: or, gallants} {the forest...: or, the defenced forest}

11:3

[There is] a voice
<06963>

of the howling
<03215>

of the shepherds
<07462> (8802)_;

for their glory
<0155>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_:

a voice
<06963>

of the roaring
<07581>

of young lions
<03715>_;

for the pride
<01347>

of Jordan
<03383>

is spoiled
<07703> (8795)_.

11:4

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

my God
<0430>_;

Feed
<07462> (8798)

the flock
<06629>

of the slaughter
<02028>_;

11:5

Whose possessors
<07069> (8802)

slay
<02026> (8799)

them, and hold themselves not guilty
<0816> (8799)_:

and they that sell
<04376> (8802)

them say
<0559> (8799)_,

Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>_;

for I am rich
<06238> (8686)_:

and their own shepherds
<07462> (8802)

pity
<02550> (8799)

them not.

11:6

For I will no more pity
<02550> (8799)

the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>_,

saith
<05002> (8803)

the LORD
<03068>_:

but, lo, I will deliver
<04672> (8688)

the men
<0120>

every one
<0376>

into his neighbour's
<07453>

hand
<03027>_,

and into the hand
<03027>

of his king
<04428>_:

and they shall smite
<03807> (8765)

the land
<0776>_,

and out of their hand
<03027>

I will not deliver
<05337> (8686)

[them]. {deliver: Heb. make to be found}

11:7

And I will feed
<07462> (8799)

the flock
<06629>

of slaughter
<02028>_,

[even] you
<03651>_,

O poor
<06041>

of the flock
<06629>_.

And I took
<03947> (8799)

unto me two
<08147>

staves
<04731>_;

the one
<0259>

I called
<07121> (8804)

Beauty
<05278>_,

and the other
<0259>

I called
<07121> (8804)

Bands
<02254> (8802)_;

and I fed
<07462> (8799)

the flock
<06629>_.

{even...: or, verily the poor} {Bands: or, Binders}

11:8

Three
<07969>

shepherds
<07462> (8802)

also I cut off
<03582> (8686)

in one
<0259>

month
<03391>_;

and my soul
<05315>

lothed
<07114> (8799)

them, and their soul
<05315>

also abhorred
<0973> (8804)

me. {lothed...: Heb. was straightened for them}

11:9

Then said
<0559> (8799)

I, I will not feed
<07462> (8799)

you: that that dieth
<04191> (8801)_,

let it die
<04191> (8799)_;

and that that is to be cut off
<03582> (8737)_,

let it be cut off
<03582> (8735)_;

and let the rest
<07604> (8737)

eat
<0398> (8799)

every one
<0802>

the flesh
<01320>

of another
<07468>_.

{another: Heb. his fellow, or, neighbour}

11:10

And I took
<03947> (8799)

my staff
<04731>_,

[even] Beauty
<05278>_,

and cut it asunder
<01438> (8799)_,

that I might break
<06565> (8687)

my covenant
<01285>

which I had made
<03772> (8804)

with all the people
<05971>_.

11:11

And it was broken
<06565> (8714)

in that day
<03117>_:

and so the poor
<06041>

of the flock
<06629>

that waited
<08104> (8802)

upon me knew
<03045> (8799)

that it [was] the word
<01697>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{so...: or, the poor of the flock, etc. certainly knew}

11:12

And I said
<0559> (8799)

unto them, If ye think
<05869>

good
<02896>_,

give
<03051> (8798)

[me] my price
<07939>_;

and if not, forbear
<02308> (8798)_.

So they weighed
<08254> (8799)

for my price
<07939>

thirty
<07970>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_.

{If ye...: Heb. If it be good in your eyes}

11:13

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Cast
<07993> (8685)

it unto the potter
<03335> (8802)_:

a goodly
<0145>

price
<03366>

that I was prised at
<03365> (8804)

of them. And I took
<03947> (8799)

the thirty
<07970>

[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,

and cast
<07993> (8686)

them to the potter
<03335> (8802)

in the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

11:14

Then I cut asunder
<01438> (8799)

mine other
<08145>

staff
<04731>_,

[even] Bands
<02254> (8802)_,

that I might break
<06565> (8687)

the brotherhood
<0264>

between Judah
<03063>

and Israel
<03478>_.

{Bands: or, Binders}

11:15

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Take
<03947> (8798)

unto thee yet the instruments
<03627>

of a foolish
<0196>

shepherd
<07462> (8802)_.

11:16

For, lo, I will raise up
<06965> (8688)

a shepherd
<07462> (8802)

in the land
<0776>_,

[which] shall not visit
<06485> (8799)

those that be cut off
<03582> (8737)_,

neither shall seek
<01245> (8762)

the young one
<05289>_,

nor heal
<07495> (8762)

that that is broken
<07665> (8737)_,

nor feed
<03557> (8770)

that that standeth
<05324> (8737)

still: but he shall eat
<0398> (8799)

the flesh
<01320>

of the fat
<01277>_,

and tear
<06561> (0)

their claws
<06541>

in pieces
<06561> (8762)_.

{cut off: or, hidden} {feed: or, bear}

11:17

Woe
<01945>

to the idol
<0457>

shepherd
<07473>

that leaveth
<05800> (8802)

the flock
<06629>_!

the sword
<02719>

[shall be] upon his arm
<02220>_,

and upon his right
<03225>

eye
<05869>_:

his arm
<02220>

shall be clean
<03001> (8800)

dried up
<03001> (8799)_,

and his right
<03225>

eye
<05869>

shall be utterly
<03543> (8800)

darkened
<03543> (8799)_.
