Open your
doors, Lebanon, That the fire may devour your
cedars.
Open thy
doors, O
Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy
cedars.
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.
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.
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
.
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
.
Thus says
Yahweh
my God :
"
Feed the flock of slaughter .
Thus saith
the
LORD
my God ;
Feed the flock of the
slaughter ;
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.
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
.
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. "
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.
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
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.
I cut off the
three
shepherds
in one month; for
my soul was
weary
of
them, and their soul also loathed
me.
Three
shepherds
also
I cut off in one month; and
my soul lothed
them, and their soul also abhorred
me.
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. "
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
.
I took my staff Favor
, and cut it apart
, that I might break my covenant that
I had made with all the peoples
.
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
.
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
.
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
.
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
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.
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
.
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
.
Then I cut apart
my
other staff, even Union
, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Then I cut asunder
mine
other staff, even Bands
, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
Yahweh
said to
me, "
Take for
yourself
yet again
the equipment
of a foolish shepherd.
And
the
LORD
said unto
me, Take unto
thee
yet the instruments
of a foolish shepherd.
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.
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.
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!"
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.
