1	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# . [mighty: or, gallants] [the forest...: or, the defenced forest]
			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 LORD 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 LORD; 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 LORD: 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 . [deliver: Heb. make to be found]
			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. [even...: or, verily the poor] [Bands: or, Binders]
			8	Three shepherds# also I cut off# in one month; and my soul lothed# them, and their soul also abhorred# me. [lothed...: Heb. was straightened for them]
			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. [another: Heb. his fellow, or, neighbour]
			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 LORD. [so...: or, the poor of the flock, etc. certainly knew]
			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. [If ye...: Heb. If it be good in your eyes]
			13	And the LORD 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 LORD.
			14	Then I cut asunder# mine other staff, even Bands# , that I might break# the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. [Bands: or, Binders]
			15	And the LORD 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# . [cut off: or, hidden] [feed: or, bear]
			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# .
