Zechariah 11

11
1Open youri doors, O L’vanon [Whiteness], that the fire may devour youri cedars.
2Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O you2f oaks of Bashan [Fruitful]; 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 Yarden [Descender] is spoiled.
4Thus says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
5Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate); for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
6For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, says the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): but, lo, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver [them].
7And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two rods (clubs); the one I called [No’am] Beauty, and the other I called [Hovalim] Bound Together; and I fed the flock.
8Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
9Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dies, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat everyone the flesh of another.
10And I took my staff, [even] Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
11And 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-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
12And I said unto them, If you2f think good, give [me] my price; and if not, refrain (restrain; refrein from acting). So they weighed for my price thirty [pieces] of silver.
13And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prized at of them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
14Then I cut asunder my other staff, [even] Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God].
15And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) said unto me, Take unto yourselfi yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
16For, 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 stands still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
17Woe to the idol shepherd that leaves 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.
