Berean Standard Bible
Open, O Lebanon, thy
doors,
And
fire doth
devour
among
thy
cedars .
Open your
doors
, O Lebanon, that
the
fire may
consume
your
cedars !
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 ,
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!
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.
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
said
Jehovah
my God: `Feed
the flock of
the
slaughter,
This
is
what
the
LORD
my God says
: “Pasture
the flock marked
for
slaughter,
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.
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 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
. '
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 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.
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.
And I
cut
off
the
three
shepherds
in one month ,
and
my soul is
grieved
with them
, and also
their soul
hath
abhorred
me.
And in one month I
dismissed
three
shepherds.
My soul grew
impatient
with the
flock
, and their souls
also
detested
me.
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
. '
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 take
My staff Pleasantness,
and cut it asunder
, to
make
void
My
covenant that
I had made with all the peoples:
Next
I took
my staff called
Favor
and cut it in
two
, revoking
the
covenant I had made with all the nations.
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
.
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 say
unto
them :
`
If good
in
your
eyes
, give my hire,
and
if not, forbear;'
and
they weigh
out my hire
--
thirty silverlings
.
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 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
.
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
.
And
I cut asunder
my second staff ,
Bands
, to
break
the unity
between Judah and Israel.
Then
I cut in
two
my second staff called
Union
, breaking
the brotherhood
between Judah and Israel.
And Jehovah
saith
unto
me ,
`Again
take to
thee
the instrument
of a foolish shepherd.
And the
LORD
said
to
me :
“
Take up
once
more
the equipment
of a foolish shepherd.
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.
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
.
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
! '
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
! ”
