Zechariah 11:1-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 11
1
Open your doors, Lebanon,
So that a fire may feed on your cedars.
2
Wail, juniper, because the cedar has fallen,
For the magnificent
trees
have been destroyed;
Wail, oaks of Bashan,
Because the impenetrable forest has come down.
3
There is a sound of the shepherds’ wail,
For their splendor is ruined;
There is a sound of the young lions’ roar,
For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
4
This is what the
Lord
my God says: 'Pasture the flock
doomed
to slaughter.
5
Those who buy them slaughter them and go unpunished, and
each of
those who sell them says, ‘Blessed be the
Lord
, for I have become rich!’ And their own shepherds have no compassion for them.
6
For I will no longer have compassion for the inhabitants of the land,' declares the
Lord
; 'but behold, I will let the people fall, each into another’s power and into the power of his king; and they will crush the land, and I will not rescue
them
from their power.'
7
So I pastured the flock
doomed
to slaughter, therefore
also
the afflicted of the flock. And I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Favor, and the other I called Union; so I pastured the flock.
8
Then I did away with the three shepherds in one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also was tired of me.
King James Version
Chapter 11
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 me.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 11
1
Open your gates, Lebanon,
and fire will consume your cedars.
2
Wail, cypress, for the cedar has fallen;
the glorious trees are destroyed!
Wail, oaks of Bashan,
for the stately forest has fallen!
3
Listen to the wail of the shepherds,
for their glory is destroyed.
Listen to the roar of young lions,
for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed.
4
The
Lord
my God says this: "Shepherd the flock intended for slaughter.
5
Those who buy them slaughter them but are not punished. Those who sell them say: Blessed be the
Lord
because I have become rich! Even their own shepherds have no compassion for them.
6
Indeed, I will no longer have compassion on the inhabitants of the land"—this is the
Lord
’s declaration. "Instead, I will turn everyone over to his neighbor and his king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue it from their hand."
7
So I shepherded the flock intended for slaughter, the oppressed of the flock. I took two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock.
8
In one month I got rid of three shepherds. I became impatient with them, and they also detested me.
New Living Translation
Chapter 11
1
Open your doors, Lebanon,
so that fire may devour your cedar forests.
2
Weep, you cypress trees, for all the ruined cedars;
the most majestic ones have fallen.
Weep, you oaks of Bashan,
for the thick forests have been cut down.
3
Listen to the wailing of the shepherds,
for their rich pastures are destroyed.
Hear the young lions roaring,
for their thickets in the Jordan Valley are ruined.
4
This is what the
Lord
my God says: 'Go and care for the flock that is intended for slaughter.
5
The buyers slaughter their sheep without remorse. The sellers say, ‘Praise the
Lord
! Now I’m rich!’ Even the shepherds have no compassion for them.
6
Likewise, I will no longer have pity on the people of the land,' says the
Lord
. 'I will let them fall into each other’s hands and into the hands of their king. They will turn the land into a wilderness, and I will not rescue them.'
7
So I cared for the flock intended for slaughter — the flock that was oppressed. Then I took two shepherd’s staffs and named one Favor and the other Union.
8
I got rid of their three evil shepherds in a single month. But I became impatient with these sheep, and they hated me, too.

Chapter 11
1
Open your doors, O Lebanon,
that the fire may devour your cedars!
2
Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen,
for the glorious trees are ruined!
Wail, oaks of Bashan,
for the thick forest has been felled!
3
The sound of the wail of the shepherds,
for their glory is ruined!
The sound of the roar of the lions,
for the thicket of the Jordan is ruined!
4
Thus said the
Lord
my God: "Become shepherd of the flock doomed to slaughter.
5
Those who buy them slaughter them and go unpunished, and those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the
Lord
, I have become rich,’ and their own shepherds have no pity on them.
6
For I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of this land, declares the
Lord
. Behold, I will cause each of them to fall into the hand of his neighbor, and each into the hand of his king, and they shall crush the land, and I will deliver none from their hand."
7
So I became the shepherd of the flock doomed to be slaughtered by the sheep traders. And I took two staffs, one I named Favor, the other I named Union. And I tended the sheep.
8
In one month I destroyed the three shepherds. But I became impatient with them, and they also detested me.
New International Version
Chapter 11
1
Open your doors, Lebanon,
so that fire may devour your cedars!
2
Wail, you juniper, for the cedar has fallen;
the stately trees are ruined!
Wail, oaks of Bashan;
the dense forest has been cut down!
3
Listen to the wail of the shepherds;
their rich pastures are destroyed!
Listen to the roar of the lions;
the lush thicket of the Jordan is ruined!
4
This is what the
Lord
my God says: "Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.
5
Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Praise the
Lord
, I am rich!’ Their own shepherds do not spare them.
6
For I will no longer have pity on the people of the land," declares the
Lord
. "I will give everyone into the hands of their neighbors and their king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue anyone from their hands."
7
So I shepherded the flock marked for slaughter, particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favor and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock.
8
In one month I got rid of the three shepherds. The flock detested me, and I grew weary of them
New King James Version
Chapter 11
1
Open your doors, O Lebanon,
That fire may devour your cedars.
2
Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen,
Because the mighty
trees
are ruined.
Wail, O oaks of Bashan,
For the thick forest has come down.
3
There is
the sound of wailing shepherds!
For their glory is in ruins.
There is
the sound of roaring lions!
For the pride of the Jordan is in ruins.
4
Thus says the
Lord
my God, “Feed the flock for slaughter,
5
whose owners slaughter them and feel no guilt; those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the
Lord
, for I am rich’; and their shepherds do not pity them.
6
For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the
Lord
. “But indeed I will give everyone into his neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They shall attack the land, and I will not deliver
them
from their hand.”
7
So I fed the flock for slaughter, in particular the poor of the flock. I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bonds; and I fed the flock.
8
I dismissed the three shepherds in one month. My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
