Book 38 Zechariah Chapter 011

 

011:001Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy
cedars.

 

011:002Howl, 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.

 

011:003There 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.

 

011:004Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;

 

011:005Whose 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.

 

011:006For 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.

 

011:007And 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.

 

011:008Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul
lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

 

011:009Then 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.

 

011:010And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I
might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.

 

011:011And 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.

 

011:012And 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.

 

011:013And 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.

 

011:014Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might
break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

 

011:015And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments
of a foolish shepherd.

 

011:016For, 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.

 

011:017Woe 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.
