Διάνοιξον ὁ Λἵβανος τὰς θύρας σου, καὶ καταφαγέτω πῦρ τὰς κέδρους σου·

ὀλολυξάτω πίτυς, διότι πέπτωκεν κέδρος, ὅτι μεγάλως μεγιστᾶνες ἐταλαιπώρησαν· ὀλολύξατε, δρύες τῆς Βασανείτιδος, ὅτι κατεσπάσθη ὁ δρυμὸς ὁ σύμφυτος. φωνὴ θρηνούντων ποιμένων, ὅτι τεταλαιπάώρηκεν ἡ μεγαλοσύνη αὐτῶν·

φωνὴ ρυομένων λεόντων, ὅτι τεταλαιπώρηκεν τὸ φρύαγμα τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.

τάδε λέγει Κύριος Παντοκράτωρ Ποιμαίνετε τὰ πρόβατα τῆς σφαγῆς,

ἄ οἱ κτησάμενοι κατέσφαζον καὶ οὐ μετεμέλοντο, καὶ οἱ πωλοῦντες αὐτὰ ἕλεγον Εὺλογητὸς Κύριος, καὶ πεπλουτήκαμεν· καὶ οἱ ποιμένες οὐτῶν οὐκ ἔπασχον οὐδὲν ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς.

διὰ τοῦτο οὐ φείσομαι οὐκέτι ἐπὶ τοὺς ¶ κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν, λέγει Κύριος· καὶ ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ παραδίδωμι ¹ τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, ἕκαστον εἰς χεῖρας τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ καὶ ²⁴ εἰς χεῖρας βασιλέως αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατακόψουσιν τὴν γῆν, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐξέλωμαι ἐκ χειρὸς αὐτῶν.

καὶ ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατα τῆς σφαγῆςεἰς τὴν Καναανῖτιν· καὶ λήμψομαι ἐμαυτῷ δύο όάβδους, τὴν μέν μίαν ἐκάλεσα Κάλλος, καὶ τὴν ἑτέραν ἐκάλεσα Σχοίνισμα, καὶ ποιμανῶ τὰ πρόβατα.

καὶ ἐξαρῶ τοὺς τρεῖς ποιμένας ἐν μηνὶ ἑνί, καὶ βαρυνθήσεται ἡ ψυχὴ μου ἐπʼ αὐτούς, καὶ γὰρ αἱ ψυχαὶ αὐτῶν ἐπωρύοντο ἐπʼ ἐμέ.

καὶ εἶπα Οὐ ποιμανῶ ὑμᾶς· τὸ ἀποθνῆσκον ἀποθνησκέτω, καὶ τὸ ἐκλιπὸν ἐκλιπέτω, καὶ τὰ λοιπὰ κατεσθιέτωσαν ἕκαστος τὰς σάρκας τοῦ πλησίον αὐτοῦ.

καὶ λήμψονται τὴν όάβδον μου τὴν καλήν, καὶ ἀπορρίψω τοῦ διασκεδάσαι τὴν διαθήκην μου ἣν διεθέμην πρὸς πάντας τοὺς λαούς·

καὶ διασκεδασθήσεται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, καὶ γνώσονται οἱ Χαναναῖοι τὰ πρόβατα τὰ φυλασσόμενά μοι· διότι λόγος Κυρίου ἐστίν.

καὶ ἐρῶ πρὸς αὐτοὺς Εἰ καλὸν ἐνώπιον ὑμῶν ἐστιν, δότε τὸν μισθόν μου ἤ ἀπείπασθε· καὶ ἔστησαν τὸν μισθόν μου τριάκοντα ἀργυροῦς.

καὶ εἶπεν Κύριος πρὸς μέ Κάθες αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸ χωνευτήριον, καὶ σκέψομαι εἰ δόκιμόν ἐστιν, ὃν τρόπου ἐδοκιμάσθη ὑπέρ αὐτῶν. καὶ ἔλαβον τοὺς τριάκοντα ἀργυροῦς καὶ ἐνέβαλον αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου εἰς τὸ χαονευτήριον.

καὶ ἀπέρριψα τὴν όάβδον τὴν δευτέραν, τὸ σχοίνισμα, τοῦ διασκεδάσαι τὴν κατάσχεσιν ἀνὰ μέσου Ἰούδα καὶ ἀνὰ μέσον Ἰσραήλ.

Καὶ εἶπευ Κύριος πρὸς μέ Ἔτι λάβε σεαυτῷ σκεύη ποιμενικὰ ποιμένος ἀπείρου.

βιότι ἰδοὺ ἐξεγείρω ποιμένα ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν· τὸ ἐκλιμπάνον ⁵⁶ οὐ μὴ ἐπισκέψηται, καὶ τὸ ἐσκορπισμένον οὐ μὴ ζητήσῃ, καὶ τὸ ⁷ συντετριμμένον οὐ μὴ ἰάσηται, καὶ τὸ ὁλόκληρον οὐ μὴ κατευθύνῃ, καὶ τὰ κρέα τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν καταφάγεται, καὶ τοὺς ἀστραγάλους αὐτῶν ἐκστρέψει.

ὢ οἱ ποιμαίνοντες τὰ μάταια καὶ καταλελοιπότες τὰ πρόβατα· μάχαιρα ἐπὶ τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐπὶ τὸν ὀφθαλαὸν §τὸν δεξιὸν αὐτοῦ· ὁ βραχίων αὐτοῦ ξηραινόμενος ξηρανθήσεται, ⁸ καὶ ὀφθαλμὸς ὁ δεξιὸς αὐτοῦ ἐκτυφλούμενος ἐκτυφλωθήσεται.

Ζαχαρίας (Greek) (Septuaginta. The Old Testament in Greek According to the Septuagint. Volume 3: Hosea-4 Maccabees, Psalms of Solomon, Enoch, The Odes. Swete, Henry Barclay, editor. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1905)

Zechariah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 11 focus

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!
