The Prophet Zechariah

World English Bible Catholic :: King James Version

- Kapitel 11 -

1
Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
2
Wail, cypress tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.
3
A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! For their glory is destroyeda voice of the roaring of young lions! For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
4
The LORD my God says: “Feed the flock of slaughter.
5
Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them.
6
For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the LORD; “but, behold, I will deliver every one of the men 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.”
7
So I fed the flock to be slaughtered, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I calledFavorand the other I called “Union”, and I fed the flock.
8
I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
9
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.”

Thirty Pieces of Silver

(Matthew 27:3–10)
10
I took my staff Favor and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
11
It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the LORD’s word.
12
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.
13
The LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potterthe handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the LORD’s house.
14
Then I cut apart my other staff, Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15
The LORD said to me, “Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16
For, behold, 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 meat of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
17
Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword will strike his arm and his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!”
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.(a) (b)
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.(c)
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.(d) (e)
8
Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.(f)
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.(g)

Thirty Pieces of Silver

(Matthew 27:3–10)
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 .(h)
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.(i)
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.(j)
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.(k) (l)
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.
