WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.060 Chapter eleven Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy 00:05.060 --> 00:05.540 cedars. 00:06.540 --> 00:11.040 Howl, fir-tree, for the cedar is fallen, because the mighty are spoiled. 00:11.880 --> 00:16.340 Howl, all ye oaks of Bashan, for the forest of the vintage is come down. 00:18.040 --> 00:21.700 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds, for their glory is spoiled. 00:22.300 --> 00:26.400 A voice of the roaring of young lions, for the pride of Jordan is spoiled. 00:27.160 --> 00:32.200 Thus saith the Lord my God, feed the flock of the slaughter, whose possessors slay 00:32.200 --> 00:34.180 them, and hold themselves not guilty. 00:34.980 --> 00:38.600 And they that sell them say, Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich. 00:39.280 --> 00:41.000 And their own shepherds pity them not. 00:41.800 --> 00:45.680 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the Lord. 00:46.120 --> 00:50.180 But lo, I will deliver the men, every one, into his neighbour's hand, 00:50.380 --> 00:51.880 and into the hand of his king. 00:52.400 --> 00:55.640 And they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver 00:55.640 --> 00:55.880 them. 00:56.600 --> 01:00.040 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. 01:00.480 --> 01:05.740 And I took unto me two staves, the one I called Beauty, and the other I 01:05.740 --> 01:06.500 called Bands. 01:06.940 --> 01:08.140 And I fed the flock. 01:08.940 --> 01:12.880 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month, and my soul loathed them, 01:13.180 --> 01:14.900 and their soul also abhorred me. 01:15.600 --> 01:17.920 Then said I, I will not feed you. 01:18.600 --> 01:20.260 That that dieth, let it die. 01:20.980 --> 01:24.040 And that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off. 01:24.560 --> 01:27.360 And let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. 01:28.560 --> 01:32.860 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my 01:32.860 --> 01:34.660 covenant which I had made with all the people. 01:35.300 --> 01:36.660 And it was broken in that day. 01:37.180 --> 01:41.000 And so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the 01:41.000 --> 01:41.300 Lord. 01:42.000 --> 01:47.240 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price, and if not, forbear. 01:47.840 --> 01:50.220 So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 01:50.600 --> 01:55.880 And the Lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter, a goodly price that I was 01:55.880 --> 01:56.820 prized at of them. 01:57.440 --> 02:00.880 And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house 02:00.880 --> 02:01.420 of the Lord. 02:02.260 --> 02:06.420 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the 02:06.420 --> 02:08.180 brotherhood between Judah and Israel. 02:08.720 --> 02:13.120 And the Lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. 02:13.740 --> 02:17.180 For lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land which shall not visit those that be 02:17.180 --> 02:17.660 cut off. 02:18.460 --> 02:22.260 Neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed 02:22.260 --> 02:23.460 that that standeth still. 02:24.000 --> 02:27.280 But he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. 02:28.380 --> 02:30.460 Woe to the idle shepherd that leaveth the flock! 02:31.160 --> 02:33.920 The sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye. 02:34.540 --> 02:38.760 His arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
