Open{H6605} thy doors,{H1817} O Lebanon,{H3844} that the fire{H784} may devour{H398} thy cedars.{H730}

Wail,{H3213} O fir-tree,{H1265} for the cedar{H730} is fallen,{H5307} because the goodly{H117} ones are destroyed:{H7703} wail,{H3213} O ye oaks{H437} of Bashan,{H1316} for the strong{H1208} forest{H3293} is come down.{H3381}

A voice{H6963} of the wailing{H3215} of the shepherds!{H7462} for their glory{H155} is destroyed:{H7703} a voice{H6963} of the roaring{H7581} of young lions!{H3715} for the pride{H1347} of the Jordan{H3383} is laid waste.{H7703}

Thus said{H559} Jehovah{H3068} my God:{H430} Feed{H7462} the flock{H6629} of slaughter;{H2028}

whose possessors{H7069} slay{H2026} them, and hold themselves not guilty;{H816} and they that sell{H4376} them say,{H559} Blessed{H1288} be Jehovah,{H3068} for I am rich;{H6238} and their own shepherds{H7462} pity{H2550} them not.

For I will no more pity{H2550} the inhabitants{H3427} of the land,{H776} saith{H5002} Jehovah;{H3068} but, lo, I will deliver{H4672} the men{H120} every one{H376} into his neighbor's{H7453} hand,{H3027} and into the hand{H3027} of his king;{H4428} and they shall smite{H3807} the land,{H776} and out of their hand{H3027} I will not deliver{H5337} them.

So I fed{H7462} the flock{H6629} of slaughter,{H2028} verily{H3651} the poor{H6041} of the flock.{H6629} And I took{H3947} unto me two{H8147} staves;{H4731} the one{H259} I called{H7121} Beauty,{H5278} and the other{H259} I called{H7121} Bands;{H2254} and I fed{H7462} the flock.{H6629}

And I cut off{H3582} the three{H7969} shepherds{H7462} in one{H259} month;{H3391} for my soul{H5315} was weary{H7114} of them, and their soul{H5315} also loathed{H973} me.

Then said{H559} I, I will not feed{H7462} you: that which dieth,{H4191} let it die;{H4191} and that which is to be cut off,{H3582} let it be cut off;{H3582} and let them that are left{H7604} eat{H398} every one{H802} the flesh{H1320} of another.{H7468}

And I took{H3947} my staff{H4731} Beauty,{H5278} and cut it asunder,{H1438} that I might break{H6565} my covenant{H1285} which I had made{H3772} with all the peoples.{H5971}

And it was broken{H6565} in that day;{H3117} and thus the poor{H6041} of the flock{H6629} that gave heed{H8104} unto me knew{H3045} that it was the word{H1697} of Jehovah.{H3068}

And I said{H559} unto them, If ye think{H5869} good,{H2896} give{H3051} me my hire;{H7939} and if not, forbear.{H2308} So they weighed{H8254} for my hire thirty{H7970} [pieces] of silver.{H3701}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto me, Cast{H7993} it unto the potter,{H3335} the goodly{H145} price{H3366} that I was prized at{H3365} by them. And I took{H3947} the thirty{H7970} [pieces] of silver,{H3701} and cast{H7993} them unto the potter,{H3335} in the house{H1004} of Jehovah.{H3068}

Then I cut asunder{H1438} mine other{H8145} staff,{H4731} even Bands,{H2254} that I might break{H6565} the brotherhood{H264} between Judah{H3063} and Israel.{H3478}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto me, Take{H3947} unto thee yet again the instruments{H3627} of a foolish{H196} shepherd.{H7462}

For, lo, I will raise up{H6965} a shepherd{H7462} in the land,{H776} who will not visit{H6485} those that are cut off,{H3582} neither will seek{H1245} those that are scattered,{H5289} nor heal{H7495} that which is broken,{H7665} nor feed{H3557} that which is sound;{H5324} but he will eat{H398} the flesh{H1320} of the fat{H1277} [sheep], and will tear{H6561} their hoofs{H6541} in pieces.{H6561}

Woe{H1945} to the worthless{H457} shepherd{H7473} that leaveth{H5800} the flock!{H6629} the sword{H2719} shall be upon his arm,{H2220} and upon his right{H3225} eye:{H5869} his arm{H2220} shall be clean{H3001} dried up,{H3001} and his right{H3225} eye{H5869} shall be utterly{H3543} darkened.{H3543}
