← Zechariah 11:1	Zechariah 11:2 (KJV)	Zechariah 11:3 →
Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars.	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.	[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.
