Openthy doors, O Lebanon, that the firemay devourthy cedars. Howl, fir tree; forthe cedaris fallen; becausethe mightyare spoiled: howl, O ye oaksof Bashan; forthe forestof the vintageis come down. There is a voiceof the howlingof the shepherds; fortheir gloryis spoiled: a voiceof the roaringof young lions; forthe prideof Jordanis spoiled. Thussaiththe LORDmy God; Feedthe flockof the slaughter; Whosepossessorsslaythem, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sellthem say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherdspitythem not. ForI will nomorepitythe inhabitantsof the land, saiththe LORD: but, lo, Iwill deliverthe menevery oneinto his neighbor's hand, and into the handof his king: and they shall smitethe land, and out of their handI will notdeliver them . And I will feedthe flockof slaughter, even you, O poorof the flock. And I tookunto me twostaves; the oneI calledBeauty, and the otherI calledBands; and I fedthe flock. Threeshepherdsalso I cut offin onemonth; and my soulloathedthem, and their soulalsoabhorredme. Then saidI, I will notfeedyou: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the resteatevery onethe fleshof another. And I tookmy staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might breakmy covenantwhichI had madewithallthe people. And it was brokenin thatday: and sothe poorof the flockthat waited uponme knewthatit was the wordof the LORD. And I saiduntothem, Ifye think good, give me my price; and ifnot, forbear. So they weighed formy pricethirty pieces of silver. And the LORDsaiduntome, Castit untothe potter: a goodlypricethatI was prised atofthem. And I tookthe thirty pieces of silver, and castthem tothe potterin the houseof the LORD. Then I cut asundermine otherstaff, even Bands, that I might breakthe brotherhoodbetweenJudahand Israel. And the LORDsaiduntome, Takeunto thee yetthe instrumentsof a foolishshepherd. For, lo, Iwill raiseup a shepherdin the land, which shall notvisitthose that be cut off, neithershall seekthe young one, norhealthat that is broken, norfeedthat that standeth still: but he shall eatthe fleshof the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. Woeto the idolshepherdthat leaveththe flock! the sword shall be uponhis arm, and uponhis righteye: his armshall be clean dried up, and his righteyeshall be utterly darkened.
