Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>A 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 ruined.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Thus says the LORD my God: "Feed the flock of slaughter. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, 'Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich;' and their own shepherds do not pity them. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land," says the LORD; "but, look, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>So I fed the flock of slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called "Favor," and the other I called "Union," and I fed the flock. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>Then I said, "I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other's flesh." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the word of the LORD. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>I said to them, "If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them." So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>The LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that I was valued at by them." I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in the house of the LORD. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>The LORD said to me, "Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>For, look, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who 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.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/zechariah/11-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock. The sword will be on his arm, and on his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded."<p></div></div><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div align="center"><a href="//nheb.net/">New Heart English Bible</a><br />Edited by Wayne A.
