Zechariah:9:1-8
nasb@Zechariah:9:1 @Open your doors, O Lebanon, That a fire may feed on your cedars.
nasb@Zechariah:9:2 @Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, Because the glorious trees have been destroyed; Wail, O oaks of Bashan, For the impenetrable forest has come down.
nasb@Zechariah:9:3 @There is a sound of the shepherds' wail, For their glory is ruined; There is a sound of the young lions' roar, For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
nasb@Zechariah:9:4 @Thus says the LORD my God, "Pasture the flock doomed to slaughter.
nasb@Zechariah:9:5" @Those who buy them slay them and go unpunished, and each of those who sell them says, 'Blessed be the LORD, for I have become rich!' And their own shepherds have no pity on them.
nasb@Zechariah:9:6" @For I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of the land," declares the LORD; "but behold, I will cause the men to fall, each into another's power and into the power of his king; and they will strike the land, and I will not deliver them from their power."
nasb@Zechariah:9:7 @So I pastured the flock doomed to slaughter, hence the afflicted of the flock. And I took for myself two staffs- the one I called Favor and the other I called Union; so I pastured the flock.
nasb@Zechariah:9:8 @Then I annihilated the three shepherds in one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also was weary of me.
