NASB Bible (with Strong's Numbers)

Zechariah 11

The Doomed Flock

1

Openh6605a your doorsh1817, O Lebanonh3844, That a  afireh784 may feedh398 on your  bcedarsh730.

2

Wailh3213, O  1cypressh1265, for the cedarh730 has fallenh5307, Becauseh834 the glorioush117 trees have been destroyedh7703; Wailh3213, O oaksh437 of Bashanh1316, For the  2impenetrableh1219 foresth3293a has comeh3381 downh3381.

3

There is a soundh6963 of the shepherds'h7462a  awailh3215, For their gloryh155 is ruinedh7703; There is a  bsoundh6963 of the youngh3715 lions'h3715 roarh7581, For the  1prideh1347b of the Jordanh3383 is ruinedh7703.

4

Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068 my Godh430, "Pastureh7462a the flockh6629 doomed to  aslaughterh2028.

5

"Those whoh834 buyh7069 them slayh2026 them and  1goh816  aunpunishedh3808h816, and each of those who sellh4376 them saysh559, `Blessedh1288 be the LORDh3068, for  bI have becomeh6238 richh6238!' And their  cown shepherdsh7462a haveh2550 noh3808 pityh2550 on them.

6

"For I will  anoh3808 longerh5750 haveh2550 pityh2550 on the inhabitantsh3427 of the landh776," declaresh5002 the LORDh3068; "but beholdh2009, I will  bcause the menh120 to  1fallh4672, eachh376 into another'sh7453  2powerh3027 and into the  2powerh3027 of his kingh4428; and they will strikeh3807 the landh776, and I will  cnot deliverh5337 them from their  2powerh3027."

7

So I  apasturedh7462a the flockh6629 doomed to slaughterh2028,  1henceh3651 the  bafflictedh6041 of the flockh6629. And I tookh3947 for myself twoh8147  cstaffsh4731: the oneh259 I calledh7121  2 dFavorh5278 and the otherh259 I calledh7121  3 eUnionh2260c; so I pasturedh7462a the flockh6629.

8

Then I annihilatedh3582 the threeh7969 shepherdsh7462a in  aoneh259 monthh3391, for my soulh5315 was impatienth7114a with them, and their soulh5315 alsoh1571  1was wearyh973a of me.

9

Then I saidh559, "I will not pastureh7462a you. What is to  adieh4191,  1let it dieh4191, and what is to be annihilatedh3582,  2let it be annihilatedh3582; and  3let those who are lefth7604 eath398 oneh802 another'sh7468 fleshh1320."

10

I tookh3947 my staffh4731  1 aFavorh5278 and cuth1438 it in piecesh1438, to  2 bbreakh6565a my covenanth1285 whichh834 I had madeh3772 with allh3605 the peoplesh5971a.

11

So it was  1brokenh6565a on that dayh3117, and  2thush3651 the  aafflictedh6041 of the flockh6629 who were watchingh8104 me realizedh3045 that it was the wordh1697 of the LORDh3068.

12

I saidh559 to them, "Ifh518 it is goodh2896a in your sighth5869, giveh3051 me my  awagesh7939; but ifh518 not,  1neverh2308 mindh2308!" So they weighedh8254 out  bthirtyh7970 shekels of silverh3701 as my wagesh7939.

13

Then the LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "Throwh7993 it to the  apotterh3335, that magnificenth145 priceh3366 at whichh834 I was valuedh3365 by them." So I tookh3947 the thirtyh7970 shekels of silverh3701 and threwh7993 them to the potterh3335 in the househ1004 of the LORDh3068.

14

Then I cuth1438 in piecesh1438 my secondh8145 staffh4731  1 aUnionh2260c, to  bbreakh6565a the brotherhoodh264 betweenh996 Judahh3063 and Israelh3478.

15

The LORDh3068 saidh559 to me, "Takeh3947 againh5750 for yourself the equipmenth3627 of a  1 afoolishh196 shepherdh7462a.

16

"For beholdh2009, I am going to raiseh6965 up a shepherdh7462a in the landh776 who will  anot careh6485 for the perishingh3582, seekh1245 the scatteredh5289, healh7495 the brokenh7665, or sustainh3557 the one standingh5324, but will  bdevourh398 the fleshh1320 of the fath1277 sheep and tearh6561 offh6561 their hoofsh6541.

17

aWoeh1945 to the worthlessh457 shepherdh7473 Who leavesh5800a the flockh6629! A  bswordh2719 will be on his armh2220 And on his righth3225 eyeh5869! His  carmh2220 will be totallyh3001 witheredh3001 And his righth3225 eyeh5869 will be  1blindh3543a."
