The Flock Doomed to Slaughter

1 Open your doors, ^aO Lebanon,
that the fire may devour your cedars!
2 Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen,
for the glorious trees are ruined!
Wail, ^boaks of Bashan,
for the thick forest has been felled!
3 The sound of ^cthe wail of ^dthe shepherds,
for their glory is ruined!
The sound of the roar of ^ethe lions,
^ffor the thicket of the Jordan is ruined!
4 Thus said the Lord my God: ^g“Become shepherd of the flock doomed to slaughter. 5 ^hThose who buy them slaughter them and go unpunished, and those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, ⁱI have become rich,’ and their own shepherds have no pity on them. 6 For ^jI will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of this land, declares the Lord. Behold, I will cause each of them to fall into the hand of his neighbor, and each into the hand of his king, and they shall crush the land, and I will deliver none from their hand.”
