Berean Standard Bible
Open thy
doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour
thy
cedars .
Open your
doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may consume
your
cedars !
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 .
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 !
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
.
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
.
Thus
saith
the LORD my God ;
Feed
the flock of
the
slaughter ;
This
is
what
the LORD my God says:
“Pasture
the flock marked
for
slaughter ,
Whose possessors
slay
them ,
and
hold
themselves
not
guilty:
and
they
that
sell them say, Blessed be the LORD ;
for I am rich :
and
their own shepherds pity
them not
.
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.
For I will no more
pity
the inhabitants
of the land, saith
the LORD :
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
.
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
. ”
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.
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.
Three
shepherds
also
I
cut
off
in one month ;
and
my soul lothed
them
, and their soul
also abhorred
me.
And
in one month I
dismissed
three
shepherds.
My soul grew
impatient
with
the
flock
, and their souls
also detested
me.
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
.
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. ”
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
.
Next
I took my staff called
Favor
and cut it in
two
, revoking
the
covenant I had made with all the nations
.
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 LORD.
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.
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.
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.
And the LORD 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 LORD.
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.
Then I cut asunder
mine
other
staff ,
even
Bands
, that
I
might
break
the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Then I cut in
two
my
second
staff called
Union
, breaking
the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
And the LORD said unto
me ,
Take unto
thee
yet
the instruments
of a foolish shepherd.
And the LORD said to
me :
“
Take up
once
more
the equipment
of a foolish shepherd.
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
.
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
.
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.
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!”
