Open your doors, O
Lebanon, that the fire may consume
your cedars !
Open your doors, Lebanon, That the fire may devour
your cedars .
Wail, O
cypress
, for the cedar has fallen ;
the majestic
trees
are ruined!
Wail, O
oaks of Bashan, for the dense
forest has been
cut
down !
Wail, fir
tree
, for the cedar has fallen ,
Because
the stately
ones
are destroyed.
Wail, you
oaks of Bashan, For the strong
forest has come
down .
Listen
to
the wailing of the shepherds ,
for their glory is in
ruins.
Listen
to
the roaring of the
young lions ,
for the thickets
of the Jordan are
destroyed
.
A
voice
of
the wailing of the shepherds !
For their glory is destroyed:
a
voice
of
the roaring of young lions !
For the pride
of the Jordan is
ruined
.
This
is
what
the
LORD
my God says
: “Pasture
the flock marked
for
slaughter ,
Thus
says
Yahweh
my God: "Feed
the flock of
slaughter .
whose
buyers slaughter them without
remorse
. Those who sell them say, ‘
Blessed be the
LORD
, for I am rich !’
Even
their own shepherds have
no
compassion
on
them.
Their
buyers slaughter them ,
and
go
unpunished
. Those who sell them say, '
Blessed be Yahweh
, for I am rich ;'
and
their own shepherds don't
pity
them.
For I will no longer
have
compassion
on
the people
of the land, declares
the
LORD,
but behold, I will cause
each
man
to
fall
into
the hands
of
his neighbor
and his king ,
who
will devastate
the land, and I will not deliver it
from
their
hands
. ”
For I will no more
pity
the inhabitants
of the land, "
says
Yahweh;
"
but ,
behold, I will deliver
the men
everyone
into
his neighbor's
hand,
and into
the
hand
of
his king .
They
will strike
the land, and out
of
their
hand
I will not deliver them
. "
So I pastured
the flock marked
for
slaughter, especially the afflicted
of the flock. Then
I took for myself two staffs ,
calling
one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured
the flock.
So I fed
the flock of
slaughter, especially the oppressed
of the flock. I took for myself two staffs .
The
one I
called
"
Favor ,"
and the other I
called
"
Union, "
and I fed
the flock.
And
in
one
month
I dismissed
three shepherds .
My soul grew
impatient
with
the
flock
, and their souls
also detested
me.
I cut
off
the
three shepherds in
one
month;
for
my soul was
weary
of
them
, and their soul
also loathed
me.
Then I said, “
I will no
longer
shepherd
you. Let the
dying
die ,
and the
perishing
perish
; and let those who remain
devour
one
another’s
flesh. ”
Then I said, "
I will not
feed
you. That
which
dies,
let it
die ;
and that
which
is
to
be
cut
off,
let
it
be
cut
off
; and let those who are
left
eat
each
other's
flesh. "
Next
I took my staff called
Favor and cut it in
two
, revoking
the
covenant I had made with all the nations
.
I took my staff Favor ,
and cut it apart
, that
I
might
break
my
covenant that
I had made with all the peoples
.
It was revoked
on
that day ,
and so
the afflicted
of the flock who
were
watching
me knew that it was the word of the
LORD
.
It was broken
in
that day ;
and thus
the poor
of the flock that
listened
to
me knew that it was the word of Yahweh
.
Then
I told
them, “
If it
seems
right
to
you, give me my wages; but
if not, keep them. ”
So they weighed out
my wages ,
thirty pieces of silver.
I said
to
them, "
If you think
it
best
, give me my wages; and
if not, keep them. "
So they weighed for
my wages thirty pieces of silver.
And
the
LORD
said to me, “
Throw it to the potter ”—this
magnificent
price at
which
they
valued me.
So
I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the
LORD
.
Yahweh
said to me, "
Throw it to the potter ,
the
handsome
price that
I
was
valued at
by
them!"
I took the thirty pieces of silver ,
and threw them to the potter ,
in the house of Yahweh
.
Then I cut in
two
my second
staff called
Union, breaking
the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Then I cut apart
my other
staff ,
even
Union, that
I
might
break
the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
And
the
LORD
said to me :
“
Take up
once
more
the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
Yahweh
said to me ,
"
Take for
yourself
yet
again
the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will neither
care
for
the
lost
, nor
seek the
young
, nor heal the
broken, nor sustain
the
healthy,
but he will devour
the flesh of the choice
sheep and tear off
their hooves
.
For ,
behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land ,
who will not
visit
those
who
are
cut
off
, neither
will
seek those
who
are
scattered
, nor heal that
which
is
broken, nor feed
that
which
is
sound;
but he will eat
the flesh of the fat
sheep ,
and will
tear their hoofs
in
pieces
.
Woe to the worthless shepherd ,
who deserts
the flock! May
a
sword strike
his arm and his right eye !
May
his arm be completely withered and his right eye utterly
blinded! ”
Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves
the flock! The
sword will
be
on
his arm ,
and on
his right eye .
His arm will
be completely withered ,
and his right eye will
be
totally
blinded! "
