1. Open your doors, O Lebanon, so that the fire may devour your cedars.
|
1. Open H6605 thy doors H1817 , O Lebanon H3844 , that the fire H784 may devour H398 thy cedars H730 .
|
|
2. Howl, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the majestic trees have been destroyed. Howl, O oaks of Bashan, for the inaccessible forest has come down.
|
2. Howl H3213 , fir tree H1265 ; for H3588 the cedar H730 is fallen H5307 ; because H834 the mighty H117 are spoiled H7703 : howl H3213 , O ye oaks H437 of Bashan H1316 ; for H3588 the forest H3293 of the vintage H1208 is come down H3381 .
|
|
3. A voice of the wailing of the shepherds is heard, for their splendor is destroyed. A voice of the roaring of young lions is heard, for the pride of Jordan is destroyed.
|
3. There is a voice H6963 of the howling H3215 of the shepherds H7462 ; for H3588 their glory H155 is spoiled H7703 : a voice H6963 of the roaring H7581 of young lions H3715 ; for H3588 the pride H1347 of Jordan H3383 is spoiled H7703 .
|
|
4. For so says Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter.
|
4. Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD H3068 my God H430 ; Feed H7462 H853 the flock H6629 of the slaughter H2028 ;
|
|
5. Those who buy them kill them and are not held guilty. And those who sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich. And their shepherds do not pity them.
|
5. Whose H834 possessors H7069 slay H2026 them , and hold themselves not guilty H816 H3808 : and they that sell H4376 them say H559 , Blessed H1288 be the LORD H3068 ; for I am rich H6238 : and their own shepherds H7462 pity H2550 H5921 them not H3808 .
|
|
6. For I will never again pity those living in the land, says Jehovah. But, behold! I will cause to be found the men, each one into his neighbor's hand, and into his king's hand. And they shall strike the land, and I will not deliver out of their hand.
|
6. For H3588 I will no H3808 more H5750 pity H2550 H5921 the inhabitants H3427 of the land H776 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 : but, lo H2009 , I H595 will deliver H4672 H853 the men H120 every one H376 into his neighbor H7453 's hand H3027 , and into the hand H3027 of his king H4428 : and they shall smite H3807 H853 the land H776 , and out of their hand H4480 H3027 I will not H3808 deliver H5337 them .
|
|
7. And I fed the flock of slaughter, the truly poor of the flock. And I took two staffs for Myself: the one I called Kindness, and the other I called Union. And I fed the flock.
|
7. And I will feed H7462 H853 the flock H6629 of slaughter H2028 , even you , O poor H6041 of the flock H6629 . And I took H3947 unto me two H8147 staves H4731 ; the one H259 I called H7121 Beauty H5278 , and the other H259 I called H7121 Bands H2256 ; and I fed H7462 H853 the flock H6629 .
|
|
8. I also cut off three shepherds in one month. And My soul loathed them, and their soul also detested Me.
|
8. H853 Three H7969 shepherds H7462 also I cut off H3582 in one H259 month H3391 ; and my soul H5315 loathed H7114 them , and their soul H5315 also H1571 abhorred H973 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 the ones remaining, each woman, eat the flesh of her neighbor.
|
9. Then said H559 I , I will not H3808 feed H7462 you : that that dieth H4191 , let it die H4191 ; and that that is to be cut off H3582 , let it be cut off H3582 ; and let the rest H7604 eat H398 every one H802 H853 the flesh H1320 of another H7468 .
|
|
10. And I took My staff Kindness and broke it apart, to break My covenant which I had cut with all the peoples.
|
10. And I took H3947 H853 my staff H4731 , even H853 Beauty H5278 , and cut it asunder H1438 H853 , that I might break H6565 H853 my covenant H1285 which H834 I had made H3772 with H854 all H3605 the people H5971 .
|
|
11. And it was broken in that day, and so the poor of the flock who were watching Me knew that it was the Word of Jehovah.
|
11. And it was broken H6565 in that H1931 day H3117 : and so H3651 the poor H6041 of the flock H6629 that waited upon H8104 me knew H3045 that H3588 it H1931 was the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
12. And I said to them, If it is good in your eyes, give My price; and if not, let it go. And they weighed My price, thirty pieces of silver.
|
12. And I said H559 unto H413 them, If H518 ye think good H2895 H5869 , give H3051 me my price H7939 ; and if H518 not H3808 , forbear H2308 . So they weighed for H8254 H853 my price H7939 thirty H7970 pieces of silver H3701 .
|
|
13. And Jehovah said to Me, Throw it to the potter, the magnificent price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw it to the potter in the house of Jehovah.
|
13. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Cast H7993 it unto H413 the potter H3335 : a goodly H145 price H3366 that H834 I was prised at H3365 of H4480 H5921 them . And I took H3947 the thirty H7970 pieces of silver H3701 , and cast H7993 them to H413 the potter H3335 in the house H1004 of the LORD H3068 .
|
|
14. Then I broke apart My second staff Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
|
14. Then I cut asunder H1438 H853 mine other H8145 staff H4731 , H853 even Bands H2256 , that I might break H6565 H853 the brotherhood H264 between H996 Judah H3063 and Israel H3478 .
|
|
15. And Jehovah said to me, Again take to yourself the vessels of a foolish shepherd.
|
15. And the LORD H3068 said H559 unto H413 me, Take H3947 unto thee yet H5750 the instruments H3627 of a foolish H196 shepherd H7462 .
|
|
16. For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land; he shall not visit those who are cut off, nor will he seek the young, nor will he heal that which is broken, nor will he sustain that which stands. But he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear off their hoofs.
|
16. For H3588 , lo H2009 , I H595 will raise H6965 up a shepherd H7462 in the land H776 , which shall not H3808 visit H6485 those that be cut off H3582 , neither H3808 shall seek H1245 the young one H5289 , nor H3808 heal H7495 that that is broken H7665 , nor H3808 feed H3557 that that standeth still H5324 : but he shall eat H398 the flesh H1320 of the fat H1277 , and tear their claws in pieces H6561 H6541 .
|
|
17. Woe to the worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! The sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye. His arm shall be completely withered, and his right eye shall be totally darkened.
|
17. Woe H1945 to the idol H457 shepherd H7473 that leaveth H5800 the flock H6629 ! the sword H2719 shall be upon H5921 his arm H2220 , and upon H5921 his right H3225 eye H5869 : his arm H2220 shall be clean dried up H3001 H3001 , and his right H3225 eye H5869 shall be utterly darkened H3543 H3543 .
