1
Open
thy
doors,
O
Lebanon,
that
the
fire
may
devour
thy
cedars.
2
Howl,
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.
3
[There
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.
4
Thus
saith
the
LORD
my
God;
Feed
the
flock
of
the
slaughter;
5
Whose
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.
6
For
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].
7
And
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.
8
Three
shepherds
also
I
cut
off
in
one
month;
and
my
soul
lothed
them,
and
their
soul
also
abhorred
9
Then
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.
10
And
I
took
my
staff,
[even]
Beauty,
and
cut
it
asunder,
that
I
might
break
my
covenant
which
I
had
made
with
all
the
people.
11
And
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.
12
And
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.
13
And
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.
14
Then
I
cut
asunder
mine
other
staff,
[even]
Bands,
that
I
might
break
the
brotherhood
between
Judah
and
Israel.
15
And
the
LORD
said
unto
me,
Take
unto
thee
yet
the
instruments
of
a
foolish
shepherd.
16
For,
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.
17
Woe
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.
