10
I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria;
and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and
place
shall not be found for them.
11
And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the
deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of
Egypt shall depart away.
12
And I will strengthen them in the L
ORD
; and they shall walk up and
down in his name, saith the L
ORD
.
CHAPTER 11
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 L
ORD
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 L
ORD
; 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 L
ORD
: 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.
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.
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 L
ORD
.
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.
13
And
the L
ORD
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 L
ORD
.
14
Then I cut
asunder mine other staff,
even
Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15
And the L
ORD
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.
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.
