1: OpenH6605 Lebanon,H3844 your doors,H1817 that may devourH0398 fireH0784 your cedars.H0730

2: Wail,H3213 cypress-H1265 forH3588 has fallen-H5307 the cedarH0730 becauseH0834 the mighty [trees]H0117 are ruined-H7703 Wail,H3213 oaksH0437 of Bashan-H1316 forH3588 has come down.H3381 ForestH3293 the thick.H1219

3: [There is] the soundH6963 of wailingH3215 shepherds-H7462 forH3588 is in ruins-H7703 their gloryH0155 [There is] the soundH6963 of roaringH7581 lions-H3715 forH3588 is in ruins.H7703 The prideH1347 of Jordan.H3383

4: ThusH3541 saysH0559 YahwehH3068 my God-H0430 FeedH7462 -H0853 the flock forH6629 slaughter-H2028

5: whoseH0834 ownersH7069 slaughter themH2026 and noH3808 feel guilt-H0816 and those who sell themH4376 say,H0559 Blessed beH1288 Yahweh-H3068 for I am rich-H6238 and their shepherdsH7462 notH3808 do pityH2550 them.H5921

6: ForH3588 noH3808 I will pityH2550 longerH5750 onH5921 the inhabitantsH3427 of the land,H0776 saysH5002 Yahweh-H3068 but indeed,H2009 IH0595 will giveH4672 -H0853 the menH0120 everyoneH0376 into hand,H3027 of his neighborH7453 and into the handH3027 of his king-H4428 and they shall attackH3807 -H0853 the land,H0776 and notH3808 I will deliver [them]H5337 from their hand.H3027

7: So I fedH7462 -H0853 the flock forH6629 slaughter,H2028 in particularH3651 the poorH6041 of the flock.H6629 And I tookH3947 twoH8147 staffs-H4731 oneH0259 I calledH7121 Beauty,H5278 and oneH0259 I calledH7121 Bonds-H2256 and I fedH7462 -H0853 the flock.H6629

8: And I dismissedH3582 -H0853 threeH7969 the shepherdsH7462 in month-H3391 oneH0259 and loathedH7114 My soulH5315 and alsoH1571 their soulH5315 abhorredH0973

9: And I saidH0559 notH3808 I will feedH7462 youH0853 what is dying,H4191 let die-H4191 and what is perishing,H3582 perish-H3582 and those that are leftH7604 let eatH0398 eachH0802 -H0853 fleshH1320 of other.H7468

10: And I tookH3947 -H0853 my staff,H4731 -H0853 Beauty,H5278 and cut in twoH1438 itH0853 that I might breakH6565 -H0853 the covenantH1285 whichH0834 I had madeH3772 withH0854 allH3605 the peoples.H5971

11: So it was brokenH6565 on day,H3117 thatH1931 thus knewH3045 soH3651 the poorH6041 of the flockH6629 who were watchingH8104 meH0853 thatH3588 the wordH1697 of YahwehH3068 it [was].H1931

12: And I saidH0559 to themH0413 ifH0518 it is agreeableH2896 to you,H5869 give [me]H3051 my wages-H7939 and ifH0518 not,H3808 refrain.H2308 So they weighed out forH8254 -H0853 my wagesH7939 thirtyH7970 [pieces] of silver.H3701

13: And saidH0559 YahwehH3069 to meH0413 Throw itH7993 toH0413 the potter,H3335 magnificenceH0145 priceH3366 thatH0834 they set on meH3365 of themH5921 so I tookH3947 thirtyH7970 the [pieces] of silver,H3701 and threwH7993 themH0853 into the house ofH1004 YahwehH3069 forH0413 the potter.H3335

14: And I cut in twoH1438 -H0853 my staf,H4731 secondH8145 -H0853 Bonds,H2256 that I might breakH6565 -H0853 the brotherhoodH0264 betweenH0996 JudahH3063 andH0996 Israel.H3478

15: And saidH0559 YahwehH3068 to meH0413 NextH5750 takeH3947 the implementsH3627 of a shepherdH7462 foolish.H0196

16: For,H3588 indeed,H2009 IH0595 will raise upH6965 a shepherdH7462 in the land,H0776 those who are cut off,H3582 notH3808 [who] will care forH6485 the youngH5288 norH3808 seekH1245 and those that are broken,H7665 norH3808 healH7495 those that stand still,H5324 norH3808 feedH3557 but the fleshH1320 of the fat,H1277 he will eatH0398 and their hoovesH6541 tear in pieces.H6561

17: WoeH1945 to shepherdH7473 the worthlessH0457 who leavesH5800 the flock!H6629 a sword [shall be]H2719 againstH5921 his arm,H2220 and againstH5921 eye!H5869 his rightH3225 His armH2220 completelyH3001 shall wither,H3001 and eyeH5869 his rightH3225 totallyH3543 shall be blinded.H3543
