1Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may consume your cedars!
“Open your doors O Lebanon that a fire may feed on your cedars.”
“Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.”
2Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen; the majestic trees are ruined! Wail, O oaks of Bashan, for the dense forest has been cut down!
“Howl, fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the mighty are spoiled. Howl, O ye oaks of bastion, for the forest of the vintage has come down.”
“How, fir tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the mighty are spoiled. How, O ye oaks of Dacian, for the forest of the vintage is come down.”
3Listen to the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is in ruins. Listen to the roaring of the young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed.
“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.”
“there is a sound of the shepherds wail, verse three, for their glory is ruined. There is a sound of the young lions roar for the pride of the Jordan is ruined.”
4This is what the LORD my God says: "Pasture the flock marked for slaughter,
“Thus saith the Lord my God, feed the flock of the slaughter,”
“Thus saith the Lord, My God, feed the flock of the slaughter,”
5whose buyers slaughter them without remorse. Those who sell them say, 'Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich!' Even their own shepherds have no compassion on them.
“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.”
“whose possessors lay then 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.”
6For I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land, declares the LORD, but behold, I will cause each man to fall into the hands of his neighbor and his king, who will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from their hands."
“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 neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king. And they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will…”
7So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, especially the afflicted of the flock. Then I took for myself two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock.
“And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves, and the one I called beauty, or graciousness, and the other I called bands, or union, and I fed the flock.”
“And I will see 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 Dance, and I fed the flock.”
8And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.
“Three shepherds also I cut off in one month, and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.”
9Then I said, "I will no longer shepherd you. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish; and let those who remain devour one another's flesh."
“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.”
“Then I said, I will not feed you 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.”

“Then I said, I will not feed you. That that dieth, let it die. That that is to be cut off, let it be cut off, and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.”
10Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.
“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.”
“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.”
11It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
“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 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.”
12Then I told them, "If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them." So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.
“I said to them if it is good in your sight give me my wages and but if not never mind. So they weighed out 30 shekels of silver as my wages.”
“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 I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price. And if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price 30 pieces of silver.”
“"'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 I said unto them, if you think good, give me my price, and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.”
“and I said unto them if you think good give me my price and if not forbear. So they weighed for my price 30 pieces of silver”
13And the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter"—this magnificent price at which they valued me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
“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 30 shekels of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the Lord.”
“And the Lord said unto me, cast it unto the potter a goodly price that I was prized out of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.”
“and the Lord said unto me, cast it unto the potter. A goodly price, that I was prized out of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.”
“And the Lord said unto me, cast it unto the potter a lordly price that I was priced at of them. And I took the 30 pieces of silver and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.”
“and the Lord said unto me cast it under the potter a lordly price that I was prized out of them and I took the 30 pieces of silver and Cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord”
“And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter a goodly price. And I was prized out of them. And I took the 30 pieces of silver and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord.”
14Then I cut in two my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

17Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered and his right eye utterly blinded!"
