11:1 Open
thy
doors,
O
Lebanon,
that
the
fire
may
devour
thy
cedars.
11:2 Wail,
O
fir-tree,
for
the
cedar
is
fallen,
because
the
goodly
ones
are
destroyed:
wail,
O
ye
oaks
of
Bashan,
for
the
strong
forest
is
come
down.
11:3 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
laid
waste.
11:4 Thus
said
Jehovah
my
God:
Feed
the
flock
of
slaughter;
11:5 whose
possessors
slay
them,
and
hold
themselves
not
guilty;
and
they
that
sell
them
say,
Blessed
be
Jehovah,
for
I
am
rich;
and
their
own
shepherds
pity
them
not.
11:6 For
I
will
no
more
pity
the
inhabitants
of
the
land,
saith
Jehovah;
but,
lo,
I
will
deliver
the
men
every
one
into
his
neighbor'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.
11:7 So
I
fed
the
flock
of
slaughter,
verily
the
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.
11:8 And
I
cut
off
the
three
shepherds
in
one
month;
for
my
soul
was
weary
of
them,
and
their
soul
also
loathed
me.
11:9 Then
said
I,
I
will
not
feed
you:
that
which
dieth,
let
it
die;
and
that
which
is
to
be
cut
off,
let
it
be
cut
off;
and
let
them
that
are
left
eat
every
one
the
flesh
of
another.
11:10 And
I
took
my
staff
Beauty,
and
cut
it
asunder,
that
I
might
break
my
covenant
which
I
had
made
with
all
the
peoples.
11:11 And
it
was
broken
in
that
day;
and
thus
the
poor
of
the
flock
that
gave
heed
unto
me
knew
that
it
was
the
word
of
Jehovah.
11:12 And
I
said
unto
them,
If
ye
think
good,
give
me
my
hire;
and
if
not,
forbear.
So
they
weighed
for
my
hire
thirty
[pieces]
of
silver.
11:13 And
Jehovah
said
unto
me,
Cast
it
unto
the
potter,
the
goodly
price
that
I
was
prized
at
by
them.
And
I
took
the
thirty
[pieces]
of
silver,
and
cast
them
unto
the
potter,
in
the
house
of
Jehovah.
11:14 Then
I
cut
asunder
mine
other
staff,
even
Bands,
that
I
might
break
the
brotherhood
between
Judah
and
Israel.
11:15 And
Jehovah
said
unto
me,
Take
unto
thee
yet
again
the
instruments
of
a
foolish
shepherd.
11:16 For,
lo,
I
will
raise
up
a
shepherd
in
the
land,
who
will
not
visit
those
that
are
cut
off,
neither
will
seek
those
that
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.
11:17 Woe
to
the
worthless
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.
