Open your doors, O Lebanon,
to let fire burn up your cedars!
2Wail, O pine-tree,
the cedar is down
[[the glorious trees despoiled]].
Wail, O oaks of Bashan,
the thick-set forest is felled!
3Hark to the shepherds deploring
their glorious pastures ruined!
Hark to the young lions roaring,
for the jungle of Jordan is blasted! * * * 4 The Eternal said to me, “Be a shepherd to the doomed flock, 5 whose buyers kill them and go unpunished; their sellers say, ‘Thank God, I am rich!’ and their very shepherds have no pity on them 6 [[For I will no longer spare the dwellers on earth, the Eternal declares; no, I will hand over mankind, every nation of them, to their shepherds, putting them into the hands of their kings, who shall shatter the earth, and I will not secure it from their violence]].” 7 So I became a shepherd to the doomed flock, abandoned to hucksters. I took two staffs; one I called “Goodwill,” the other I called “Union.” I was a shepherd to the flock 8 [[and in a single month I deposed three shepherds]]. But I lost patience with the flock; and they detested me. 9 So I said, “I will not be your shepherd; what is dying, let it die, let the lost be lost, and let the survivors devour one another.” 10 I took my staff “Goodwill” and broke it--so as to annul the safe-guard I had made for them with all the nations.
11 The day it was broken, the hucksters who had hired me knew that this was by order of the Eternal. 12 I said to them, “If you think it right, give me my wages; but if not--never mind.” So they paid out for my wages thirty half-crowns. 13 The Eternal said to me, “Put it into the treasury, that splendid sum with which they paid you off!” Then I took the thirty half-crowns and put them into the house of the Eternal, into the treasury, 14 and I broke my other staff “Union,” so as to annul the brotherly tie between Judah and Israel. 15 But the Eternal said to me, “Take the equipment of a shepherd once more--of a worthless shepherd; 16 for I am setting a shepherd over the land who will not look after what is missing, who will not look out for what is scattered or heal what is hurt; he will not cherish the sound sheep, but eat up the flesh of the fat sheep and devour their very legs.
17Woe betide that worthless shepherd of mine,
who leaves the flock to itself!
May the sword strike his arm and his right eye!
May his arm be withered,
and his right eye blinded!
7Up, sword, against my shepherd,
against my high priest!
(’tis a summons from the Lord of hosts).
I will strike the shepherd,
till the sheep are scattered,
even against the little ones I turn my hand.
8For all over the land,
the Lord of hosts declares,
two-thirds shall perish,
but one-third shall be left;
9and this third I will pass through fire,
smelting them like silver,
testing them like gold,
till they call to me,
and then I listen;
I will say, ‘They are my people’--
they shall cry, ‘The Eternal, my God!’ ” * * *
