KJV King James Version (with Apocrypha)
PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.
·
2 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.
·
3 ¶ [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.
·
4 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
·
5 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.
·
6 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].
·
7 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.
·
8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
·
9 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.
·
10 ¶ 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.
·
11 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.
·
12 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.
·
13 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.
·
14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, [even] Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
·
15 ¶ And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
·
16 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.
·
17 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.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 11:12 Cyril of Jerusalem, Catechetical Lectures (Lecture XIII)

    And I will say to them, If it be good in your sight, give me my price, or refuse, and the rest.
