11:1	Open your doors, O Lebanon, That a fire may feed on your cedars.
11:2	Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, Because the glorious [trees] have been destroyed; Wail, O oaks of Bashan, For the impenetrable forest has come down.
11:3	There is a sound of the shepherds' wail, For their glory is ruined; There is a sound of the young lions' roar, For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
11:4	Thus says the LORD my God, "Pasture the flock [doomed] to slaughter.
11:5	"Those who buy them slay them and go unpunished, and [each of] those who sell them says, 'Blessed be the LORD, for I have become rich!' And their own shepherds have no pity on them.
11:6	"For I shall no longer have pity on the inhabitants of the land," declares the LORD; "but behold, I shall cause the men to fall, each into another's power and into the power of his king; and they will strike the land, and I shall not deliver [them] from their power."
11:7	So I pastured the flock [doomed] to slaughter, hence the afflicted of the flock. And I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Favor, and the other I called Union; so I pastured the flock.
11:8	Then I annihilated the three shepherds in one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also was weary of me.
11:9	Then I said, "I will not pasture you. What is to die, let it die, and what is to be annihilated, let it be annihilated; and let those who are left eat one another's flesh."
11:10	And I took my staff, Favor, and cut it in pieces, to break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
11:11	So it was broken on that day, and thus the afflicted of the flock who were watching me realized that it was the word of the LORD.
11:12	And I said to them, "If it is good in your sight, give [me] my wages; but if not, never mind!" So they weighed out thirty [shekels] of silver as my wages.
11:13	Then the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter, [that] magnificent price at which I was valued by them." So I took the thirty [shekels] of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
11:14	Then I cut my second staff, Union, in pieces, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
11:15	And the LORD said to me, "Take again for yourself the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
11:16	"For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for the perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or sustain the one standing, but will devour the flesh of the fat [sheep] and tear off their hoofs.
11:17	"Woe to the worthless shepherd Who leaves the flock! A sword will be on his arm And on his right eye! His arm will be totally withered, And his right eye will be blind."
