OpenH6605 your doors,H1817 O Lebanon,H3844 that the fireH784 may devourH398 your cedars.H730
2
Howl,H3213 firH1265 tree; for the cedarH730 is fallen;H5307 becauseH834 the mightyH117 are spoiled:H7703 howl,H3213 O you oaksH437 of Bashan;H1316 for the forestH3293 of the vintageH1208 is comeH3381 down.H3381
3
There is a voiceH6963 of the howlingH3213 of the shepherds;H7462 for their gloryH155 is spoiled:H7703 a voiceH6963 of the roaringH7581 of youngH3715 lions;H3715 for the prideH1347 of JordanH3383 is spoiled.H7703
4
ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 my God;H430 FeedH7462 the flockH6629 of the slaughter;H2028
5
WhoseH834 possessorsH7069 slayH2026 them, and holdH816 themselves not guilty:H816 and they that sellH4376 them say,H559 BlessedH1288 be the LORD;H3068 for I am rich:H6238 and their own shepherdsH7462 pityH2550 them not.
6
For I will noH3808 moreH5750 pityH2550 the inhabitantsH3427 of the land,H776 saidH5002 the LORD:H3068 but, see, I will deliverH4672 the menH120 everyH376 oneH376 into his neighbor'sH7453 hand,H3027 and into the handH3027 of his king:H4428 and they shall smiteH3807 the land,H776 and out of their handH3027 I will not deliverH5337 them.
7
And I will feedH7462 the flockH6629 of slaughter,H2028 evenH3651 you, O poorH6041 of the flock.H6629 And I tookH3947 to me twoH8147 staves;H4731 the oneH259 I calledH7121 Beauty,H5278 and the otherH259 I calledH7121 Bands;H2256 and I fedH7462 the flock.H6629
8
ThreeH7969 shepherdsH7462 also I cutH3582 off in oneH259 month;H3391 and my soulH5315 loathedH7114 them, and their soulH5315 alsoH1571 abhorredH973 me.
9
Then saidH559 I, I will not feedH7462 you: that that dies,H4191 let it die;H4191 and that that is to be cutH3582 off, let it be cutH3582 off; and let the restH7604 eatH398 everyH802 oneH802 the fleshH1320 of another.H7468
10
And I tookH3947 my staff,H4731 evenH853 Beauty,H5278 and cutH1438 it asunder, that I might breakH6565 my covenantH1285 whichH834 I had madeH3772 with allH3605 the people.H5971
11
And it was brokenH6565 in that day:H3117 and soH3651 the poorH6041 of the flockH6629 that waitedH8104 on me knewH3045 that it was the wordH1697 of the LORD.H3068
12
And I saidH559 to them, IfH518 you thinkH5869 good,H2896 giveH3051 me my price;H7939 and ifH518 not, forbear.H2308 So they weighedH8254 for my priceH7939 thirtyH7970 pieces of silver.H3701
13
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, CastH7993 it to the potter:H3335 a goodlyH145 priceH3365 that I was pricedH3365 at of them. And I tookH3947 the thirtyH7970 pieces of silver,H3701 and castH7993 them to the potterH3335 in the houseH1004 of the LORD.H3068
14
Then I cutH1438 asunder my otherH8145 staff,H4731 evenH853 Bands,H2256 that I might breakH6565 the brotherhoodH264 betweenH996 JudahH3063 and Israel.H3478
15
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to me, TakeH3947 to you yetH5750 the instrumentsH3627 of a foolishH196 shepherd.H7462
16
For, see, I will raiseH6965 up a shepherdH7462 in the land,H776 which shall not visitH6485 those that be cutH3582 off, neitherH3808 shall seekH1245 the youngH5288 one, norH3808 healH7495 that that is broken,H7665 norH3808 feedH3557 that that standsH5324 still: but he shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of the fat,H1277 and tearH6561 their clawsH6541 in pieces.
17
WoeH1945 to the idolH457 shepherdH7473 that leavesH5800 the flock!H6629 the swordH2719 shall be on his arm,H2220 and on his rightH3225 eye:H5869 his armH2220 shall be cleanH2889 driedH3001 up, and his rightH3225 eyeH5869 shall be utterly darkened.H3543
