Zechariah 11:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
11 The destruction of the Temple. 4 The care of the faithful is committed to Christ. 7 A grievous vision against Jerusalem and Judah.
1 Open thy doors, O [a]Lebanon, and the fire shall devour thy cedars.
2 Howl, [b]fir trees: for the cedar is fallen, because all the mighty are destroyed: howl ye, O oaks of Bashan, for the [c]defenced forest is cut down.
3 There is the voice of the howling of the shepherds: for their [d]glory is destroyed: the voice of the roaring of lion’s whelps: for the pride of Jordan is destroyed.
