Zechariah 11:1-3
World English Bible
11 Open your doors, Lebanon,
that the fire may devour your cedars.
2 Wail, cypress tree, for the cedar has fallen,
because the stately ones are destroyed.
Wail, you oaks of Bashan,
for the strong forest has come down.
3 A voice of the wailing of the shepherds!
For their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions!
For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
Zechariah 11:1-3
International Standard Version
Destruction of Lebanon and Bashan
11 Open your doors, Lebanon,
and fire will consume your cedars.[a]
2 Wail, cypress tree,
for the cedar has fallen
while the stately trees are destroyed.
Wail, oak trees of Bashan,
for the old growth forest has been cut down.
3 Hear[b] the wailing of the shepherds,
for the magnificence of the forest[c] is ruined!
Hear[d] the roar of the lions,
for the Jordan’s arrogance is ruined!
