  11:1 ¶
Open thy doors, O Lebanon{gr.Libanus}, and let the fire devour thy cedars. |
|
11:1 ¶
Open°°
thy doors,°
O Lebanon,°
that the fire°
may devour°°
thy cedars.° |
|
11:2
Let the pine howl, because the cedar has fallen; for the mighty men have been greatly afflicted: howl, ye oaks of the land of Bashan{gr.Basan}; for the thickly planted forest has been torn down. |
|
11:2
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.°° |
|
11:3 ¶
[There is] a voice of the shepherds mourning; for their greatness is brought low: a voice of roaring lions; for the pride of Jordan is brought down. |
|
11:3 ¶
[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.°° |
|
11:4
Thus saith the Lord Almighty, Feed the sheep of the slaughter; |
|
11:4
Thus°
saith°°
Yahweh°
my Elohim;°
Feed°°°
the flock°
of the slaughter;° |
|
11:5
which their possessors have slain, and have not repented: and they that sold them said, Blessed be the Lord; for we have become rich: and their shepherds have suffered no sorrow for them. |
|
11:5
Whose°
possessors°°
slay°°
them, and hold themselves not guilty:°°°
and they that sell°°
them say,°°
Blessed°°
[be] Yahweh;°
for I am rich:°°
and their own shepherds°°
pity°°°
them not.° |
|
11:6
Therefore I will no longer have mercy upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord: but, behold, I will deliver up the men every one into the hand of his neighbour, and into the hand of his king; and they shall destroy the land, and I will not rescue out of their hand. |
|
11:6
For°
I will no°
more°
pity°°°
the inhabitants°°
of the land,°
saith°°
Yahweh:°
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]. |
|
11:7
And I will tend the flock of slaughter in the land of Canaan{gr.Chanaan}: and I will take for myself two rods; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Line; and I will tend the flock. |
|
11:7
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.° |
|
11:8
And I will cut off three shepherds in one month; and my soul shall grieve over them, for their souls cried out against me. |
|
11:8
°
Three°
shepherds°°
also I cut off°°
in one°
month;°
and my soul°
lothed°°
them, and their soul°
also°
abhorred°°
me. |
|
11:9
And I said, I will not tend you: that which dies, let it die; and that which falls off, let it fall off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of his neighbour. |
|
11:9
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.° |
|
11:10 ¶
And I will take my beautiful staff, and cast it away, that I may break my covenant which I made with all the people. |
|
11:10 ¶
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.° |
|
11:11
And it shall be broken in that day; and the Canaanites{gr.Chananites}, the sheep that are kept for me, shall know that it is the word of the Lord. |
|
11:11
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 Yahweh.° |
|
11:12
And I will say to them, If it be good in your eyes, give [me] my price, or refuse it. And they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. |
|
11:12
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.° |
|
11:13
And the Lord said to me, Drop them into the furnace, and I will see if it is good [metal], as I was proved for their sakes. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them into the furnace in the house of the Lord. |
|
11:13
And Yahweh°
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 Yahweh.° |
|
11:14
And I cast away [my] second rod, [even] Line, that I might break the possession between Judah{gr.Juda} and Israel. |
|
11:14
Then I cut asunder°°°
mine other°
staff,°°
[even] Bands,°°°
that I might break°°°
the brotherhood°
between°
Judah°
and Israel.° |
|
11:15 ¶
And the Lord said to me, Take yet to thee shepherd's implements belonging to an unskillful shepherd. |
|
11:15 ¶
And Yahweh°
said°°
unto°
me, Take°°
unto thee yet°
the instruments°
of a foolish°
shepherd.°° |
|
11:16
For, behold, I [will] raise up a shepherd against the land: he shall not visit that which is perishing, and he shall not seek that which is scattered, and he shall not heal that which is bruised, nor guide that which is whole: but he shall devour the flesh of the choice [ones], and shall dislocate the joints [of their necks]. |
|
11:16
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.°°° |
|
11:17
Alas for the vain shepherds that have forsaken the sheep! the sword [shall be] upon the arms of such a one, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be completely withered, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened. |
|
11:17
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.°° |
