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.

1 黎巴嫩哪！ 敞开你的门户， 好让火吞灭你的香柏树。

2 松树啊！ 哀号吧， 因为香柏树已经倒下， 雄壮的树木都毁坏了； 巴珊的橡树啊！ 哀号吧， 因为茂密的树林被砍下来了。

3 听牧人们哀号的声音， 因为他们荣美的草场毁坏了； 听少壮狮子吼叫的声音， 因为约旦河边的丛林毁坏了。

4 耶和华我的 神这样说： "你要牧养这将被宰杀的羊群。

5 那些买了它们的宰杀它们， 也不算为有罪； 那些卖它们的说： ‘耶和华是应当称颂的， 因我成了富足的人。’它们的牧人并不怜恤它们。

6 因此我必不再怜恤这地的居民（这是耶和华的宣告）。看哪！ 我把他们各人交在他的邻舍和君王的手中。他们必摧毁这地， 我必不救这地的居民脱离他们的手。"

7 于是， 我牧养这将被宰杀的羊群， 就是羊群中最困苦的； 我取了两根杖， 一根我称为"恩宠"， 另一根称为"联合"。这样我就牧养了羊群。

8 在一个月之内我除灭了三个牧人。我的心厌烦他们， 他们的心也讨厌我。

9 我就说： "我不再牧养你们了； 那将要死的， 让他死吧！ 那将要被除灭的， 让他被除灭吧； 那些余剩的， 让他们彼此吞食对方的肉吧！ "

10 然后， 我拿起我那根称为"恩宠"的杖， 把它折断， 表示要废除我与万民所立的约；

11 那约就在当日废除了。这样， 那些仰望我的困苦羊群， 就知道这是耶和华的话。

12 我对他们说： "你们若看为美， 就给我工资； 不然， 就算了。"于是， 他们称了三十块银子作我的工资。

13 那时， 耶和华对我说： "你要把银子丢给陶匠。"那银子就是他们认为我应得的高价。我就拿了那三十块银子， 在耶和华的殿里丢给陶匠了。

14 我又折断那称为"联合"的另一根杖， 表示要废除犹大和以色列之间的手足之情。

15 耶和华又对我说： "你去取愚昧牧人的装备来。

16 因为我要在这地兴起一个牧人； 那些快要丧亡的他不看顾， 失散的他不寻找， 受伤的他不医治， 强壮的他不喂养， 他却要吃肥羊的肉， 撕掉它们的蹄子。

17 "那丢弃羊群的无用牧人有祸了！ 愿刀剑落在他的膀臂和他的右眼上； 愿他的膀臂全然枯槁， 愿他的右眼完全失明！ "
