- Open your doors, Lebanon, that the fire may devour your cedars.
- Wail, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down.
- A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! For their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions! For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
- Thus says Yahweh my God: "Feed the flock of slaughter.
- Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, 'Blessed be Yahweh, for I am rich;' and their own shepherds don't pity them.
- For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land," says Yahweh; "but, behold, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them."
- So I fed the flock of slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called "Favor," and the other I called "Union," and I fed the flock.
- I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.
- Then I said, "I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other's flesh."
- I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
- It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the word of Yahweh.
- I said to them, "If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them." So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
- Yahweh said to me, "Throw it to the potter, the handsome price that I was valued at by them!" I took the thirty pieces of silver, and threw them to the potter, in the house of Yahweh.
- Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
- Yahweh said to me, "Take for yourself yet again the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
- For, behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
- Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword will be on his arm, and on his right eye. His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will be totally blinded!"

- פתח לבנון דלתיך ותאכל אש בארזיך׃
- הילל ברוש כי־נפל ארז אשר אדרים שדדו הילילו אלוני בשן כי ירד יער ׃
- קול יללת הרעים כי שדדה אדרתם קול שאגת כפירים כי שדד גאון הירדן׃ ס
- כה אמר יהוה אלהי רעה את־צאן ההרגה׃
- אשר קניהן יהרגן ולא יאשמו ומכריהן יאמר ברוך יהוה ואעשר ורעיהם לא יחמול עליהן׃
- כי לא אחמול עוד על־ישבי הארץ נאם־יהוה והנה אנכי ממציא את־האדם איש ביד־רעהו וביד מלכו וכתתו את־הארץ ולא אציל מידם׃
- וארעה את־צאן ההרגה לכן עניי הצאן ואקח־לי שני מקלות לאחד קראתי נעם ולאחד קראתי חבלים וארעה את־הצאן׃
- ואכחד את־שלשת הרעים בירח אחד ותקצר נפשי בהם וגם־נפשם בחלה בי׃
- ואמר לא ארעה אתכם המתה תמות והנכחדת תכחד והנשארות תאכלנה אשה את־בשר רעותה׃
- ואקח את־מקלי את־נעם ואגדע אתו להפיר את־בריתי אשר כרתי את־כל־העמים׃
- ותפר ביום ההוא וידעו כן עניי הצאן השמרים אתי כי דבר־יהוה הוא׃
- ואמר אליהם אם־טוב בעיניכם הבו שכרי ואם־לא חדלו וישקלו את־שכרי שלשים כסף׃
- ויאמר יהוה אלי השליכהו אל־היוצר אדר היקר אשר יקרתי מעליהם ואקחה שלשים הכסף ואשליך אתו בית יהוה אל־היוצר׃
- ואגדע את־מקלי השני את החבלים להפר את־האחוה בין יהודה ובין ישראל׃ ס
- ויאמר יהוה אלי עוד קח־לך כלי רעה אולי׃
- כי הנה־אנכי מקים רעה בארץ הנכחדות לא־יפקד הנער לא־יבקש והנשברת לא ירפא הנצבה לא יכלכל ובשר הבריאה יאכל ופרסיהן יפרק׃ ס
- הוי רעי האליל עזבי הצאן חרב על־זרועו ועל־עין ימינו זרעו יבוש תיבש ועין ימינו כהה תכהה׃ ס

- Aperi, Libane, portas tuas, et comedat ignis cedros tuas.
- Ulula, abies, quia cecidit cedrus, quoniam magnifici vastati sunt : ululate, quercus Basan, quoniam succisus est saltus munitus.
- Vox ululatus pastorum, quia vastata est magnificentia eorum : vox rugitus leonum, quoniam vastata est superbia Jordanis.
- Hæc dicit Dominus Deus meus : Pasce pecora occisionis,
- quæ qui possederant occidebant, et non dolebant, et vendebant ea, dicentes : Benedictus Dominus ! divites facti sumus : et pastores eorum non parcebant eis.
- Et ego non parcam ultra super habitantes terram, dicit Dominus : ecce ego tradam homines, unumquemque in manu proximi sui, et in manu regis sui : et concident terram, et non eruam de manu eorum.
- Et pascam pecus occisionis propter hoc, o pauperes gregis ! et assumpsi mihi duas virgas : unam vocavi Decorem, et alteram vocavi Funiculum : et pavi gregem.
- Et succidi tres pastores in mense uno, et contracta est anima mea in eis, siquidem et anima eorum variavit in me.
- Et dixi : Non pascam vos : quod moritur, moriatur, et quod succiditur, succidatur : et reliqui devorent unusquisque carnem proximi sui.
- Et tuli virgam meam quæ vocabatur Decus, et abscidi eam, ut irritum facerem fœdus meum quod percussi cum omnibus populis.
- Et in irritum deductum est in die illa : et cognoverunt sic pauperes gregis, qui custodiunt mihi, quia verbum Domini est.
- Et dixi ad eos : Si bonum est in oculis vestris, afferte mercedem meam : et si non, quiescite. Et appenderunt mercedem meam triginta argenteos.
- Et dixit Dominus ad me : Projice illud ad statuarium, decorum pretium quo appretiatus sum ab eis. Et tuli triginta argenteos, et projeci illos in domum Domini, ad statuarium.
- Et præcidi virgam meam secundam, quæ appellabatur Funiculus, ut dissolverem germanitatem inter Judam et Israël.
- Et dixit Dominus ad me : Adhuc sunt tibi vasa pastoris stulti.
- Quia ecce ego suscitabo pastorem in terra, qui derelicta non visitabit, dispersum non quæret, et contritum non sanabit, et id quod stat non enutriet, et carnes pinguium comedet, et ungulas eorum dissolvet.
- O pastor, et idolum derelinquens gregem : gladius super brachium ejus, et super oculum dextrum ejus : brachium ejus ariditate siccabitur, et oculus dexter ejus tenebrescens obscurabitur.

- Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
- 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.
- 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.
- Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
- 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.
- And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it assunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
- And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
- 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.
- 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.
