Zechariah 11 (ASV Interlinear Bible)

1Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.

2Wail, O fir-tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the

⁎

Or, glorious

goodly ones are destroyed: wail, O ye oaks of Bashan, for the

⁎

Or, fortified

strong forest is come down.

3A 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.

4Thus said Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter;

5whose

⁎

Or, buyers

possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty; and they that sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich; and

⁎

Or, their shepherd pitieth

their own shepherds pity them not.

6For 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.

7So I fed the flock of slaughter, verily

⁎

Or, the most miserable of sheep

the poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called

⁎

Or, Graciousness

Beauty, and the other I called

⁎

Or, Binders. Or, Union

Bands; and I fed the flock.

8And I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.

9Then said I, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and

⁎

Or, that which is lost, let it be lost

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.

10And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.

11And it was broken in that day; and

⁎

Or, the poor of the flock . . . knew of a truth

thus

⁎

Or, the most miserable of sheep

the poor of the flock that gave heed unto me knew that it was the word of Jehovah.

12And 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.

13And 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.

14Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

15And Jehovah said unto me, Take unto thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

16For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not

⁎

Or, miss

visit those that are

Or, lost

cut off, neither will seek

Or, the young

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.

17Woe 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.
