Zechariah 11:1-3
Legacy Standard Bible
Woe to the Worthless Shepherd
11 Open your doors, O Lebanon,
That a (A)fire may consume your (B)cedars.
2 Wail, O [a]cypress, for the cedar has fallen,
Because the mighty trees have been destroyed;
Wail, O oaks of Bashan,
For the [b]impenetrable forest has come down.
3 There is a sound of the shepherds’ (C)wail,
For their might is destroyed;
There is a (D)sound of the young lions’ roar,
For the [c]pride of the Jordan is destroyed.

Listen, the roar of the lions,
for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed!(C)
