Zechariah 11 – Studienbibel

1 Open6605 thy doors1817, O Lebanon3844, that the fire784 may devour398 thy cedars730. 2 Howl3213, fir tree1265; for the cedar730 is fallen5307; because the mighty117 are spoiled7703: howl3213, O ye oaks437 of Bashan1316; for the forest3293 of the vintage1208 1219 is come down3381.¹² 3 There is a voice6963 of the howling3215 of the shepherds7462; for their glory155 is spoiled7703: a voice6963 of the roaring7581 of young lions3715; for the pride1347 of Jordan3383 is spoiled7703.

4 Thus saith559 the LORD3068 my God430; Feed7462 the flock6629 of the slaughter2028; 5 Whose possessors7069 slay2026 them, and hold themselves not guilty816: and they that sell4376 them say559, Blessed1288 be the LORD3068; for I am rich6238: and their own shepherds7462 pity2550 them not. 6 For I will no more pity2550 the inhabitants3427 of the land776, saith5002 the LORD3068: but, lo, I will deliver4672 the men120 every one376 into his neighbour's7453 hand3027, and into the hand3027 of his king4428: and they shall smite3807 the land776, and out of their hand3027 I will not deliver5337 them.³ 7 And I will feed7462 the flock6629 of slaughter2028, even you3651, O poor6041 of the flock6629. And I took3947 unto me two8147 staves4731; the one259 I called7121 Beauty5278, and the other259 I called7121 Bands2254; and I fed7462 the flock6629.⁴⁵ 8 Three7969 shepherds7462 also I cut off3582 in one259 month3391; and my soul5315 lothed7114 them, and their soul5315 also abhorred973 me.⁶ 9 Then said559 I, I will not feed7462 you: that that dieth4191, let it die4191; and that that is to be cut off3582, let it be cut off3582; and let the rest7604 eat398 every one802 the flesh1320 of another7468.⁷ 10 And I took3947 my staff4731, even Beauty5278, and cut it asunder1438, that I might break6565 my covenant1285 which I had made3772 with all the people5971. 11 And it was broken6565 in that day3117: and so the poor6041 of the flock6629 that waited8104 upon me knew3045 that it was the word1697 of the LORD3068.⁸ 12 And I said559 unto them, If ye think5869 good2896, give3051 me my price7939; and if not, forbear2308. So they weighed8254 for my price7939 thirty7970 pieces of silver3701.⁹ [Mt 27,9-10] 13 And the LORD3068 said559 unto me, Cast7993 it unto the potter3335: a goodly145 price3366 that I was prised at3365 of them. And I took3947 the thirty7970 pieces of silver3701, and cast7993 them to the potter3335 in the house1004 of the LORD3068. 14 Then I cut asunder1438 mine other8145 staff4731, even Bands2254, that I might break6565 the brotherhood264 between Judah3063 and Israel3478.¹⁰

15 And the LORD3068 said559 unto me, Take3947 unto thee yet the instruments3627 of a foolish196 shepherd7462. 16 For, lo, I will raise up6965 a shepherd7462 in the land776, which shall not visit6485 those that be cut off3582, neither shall seek1245 the young one5289, nor heal7495 that that is broken7665, nor feed3557 that that standeth5324 still: but he shall eat398 the flesh1320 of the fat1277, and tear6561 their claws6541 in pieces6561.¹¹¹² 17 Woe1945 to the idol457 shepherd7473 that leaveth5800 the flock6629! the sword2719 shall be upon his arm2220, and upon his right3225 eye5869: his arm2220 shall be clean3001 dried up3001, and his right3225 eye5869 shall be utterly3543 darkened3543.
