ZEC 11:1 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Zechariah is speaking to Lebanon, a place that he knows cannot hear him. He is doing this to communicate to the people listening to him that he feels very strongly about the coming destruction of the land. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate these words as if he were speaking directly to the people about Lebanon. Alternate translation: [People of Lebanon, open your doors]
