38:010:012 And I will strengthen them in the lord; and they shall walk up
           and down in his name, saith the lord.

38:011:001 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy
           cedars.

38:011:002 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.

38:011:003 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.

38:011:004 Thus saith the lord my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;

38:011:005 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: 
           and they that sell them say, Blessed be the lord; for I am
           rich:  and their own shepherds pity them not.

38:011:006 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the
           lord:  but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his
           neighbour’s hand, and into the hand of his king:  and they
           shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver
           them.

38:011:007 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of
           the flock.  And I took unto me two staves; the one I called
           Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.

38:011:008 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul
           lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

38:011:009 Then said I, I will not feed you:  that that dieth, let it die;
           and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the
           rest eat every one the flesh of another.

38:011:010 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I
           might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.

38:011:011 And it was broken in that day:  and so the poor of the flock
           that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the lord.

38:011:012 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and
           if not, forbear.  So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of
           silver.

38:011:013 And the lord said unto me, Cast it unto the potter:  a goodly
           price that I was prised at of them.  And I took the thirty
           pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of
           the lord.

38:011:014 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might
           break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

38:011:015 And the lord said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments
           of a foolish shepherd.
