ylt @Zechariah:11:1 @Open , O Lebanon , thy doors , And fire doth devour among thy cedars . ylt @Zechariah:11:2 @Howl , O fir , for fallen hath the cedar , For their honourable ones were destroyed , Howl , ye oaks of Bashan , For come down hath the fenced forest , ylt @Zechariah:11:3 @A voice of the howling of the shepherds ! For destroyed was their robe of honour , A voice of the roaring of young lions ! For destroyed was the excellency of Jordan . ylt @Zechariah:11:4 @Thus said Jehovah my God : 'Feed the flock of the slaughter , ylt @Zechariah:11:5 @Whose buyers slay them , and are not guilty , And their sellers say , Blessed [is ] Jehovah , And I am rich , And their shepherds have no pity on them . ylt @Zechariah:11:6 @For I have pity no more on inhabitants of the land , An affirmation of Jehovah , And lo , I am causing man to come forth , Each into the hand of his neighbour , And into the hand of his king , And they have beaten down the land , And I do not deliver out of their hand .' ylt @Zechariah:11:7 @And I feed the flock of slaughter , even you , ye afflicted of the flock ; and I take to me two staves , the one I have called Pleasantness , and the other I have called Bands , and I feed the flock . ylt @Zechariah:11:8 @And I cut off the three shepherds in one month , and my soul is grieved with them , and also their soul hath abhorred me . ylt @Zechariah:11:9 @And I say , 'I do not feed you , the dying , let die ; and the cut off , let be cut off ; and the remaining ones , let each eat the flesh of its neighbour .' ylt @Zechariah:11:10 @And I take My staff Pleasantness , and cut it asunder , to make void My covenant that I had made with all the peoples : ylt @Zechariah:11:11 @and it is broken in that day , and know well do the afflicted of the flock who are observing me , that it [is ] a word of Jehovah . ylt @Zechariah:11:12 @And I say unto them : 'If good in your eyes , give my hire , and if not , forbear ;' and they weigh out my hire -- thirty silverlings . ylt @Zechariah:11:13 @And Jehovah saith unto me , 'Cast it unto the potter ;' the goodly price that I have been prized at by them , and I take the thirty silverlings , and cast them [to ] the house of Jehovah , unto the potter . ylt @Zechariah:11:14 @And I cut asunder my second staff , Bands , to break the unity between Judah and Israel . ylt @Zechariah:11:15 @And Jehovah saith unto me , 'Again take to thee the instrument of a foolish shepherd . ylt @Zechariah:11:16 @For lo , I am raising up a shepherd in the land , The cut off he doth not inspect , The shaken off he doth not seek , And the broken he doth not heal , The standing he doth not sustain , And the flesh of the fat he doth eat , And their hoofs he doth break off . ylt @Zechariah:11:17 @Wo [to ] the worthless shepherd , forsaking the flock , A sword [is ] on his arm , and on his right eye , His arm is utterly dried up , And his right eye is very dim !'
