ZECHARIAH
- And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon;
- And place shall not be found for them.
- And he shall pass through the sea with affliction,
- And shall smite the waves in the sea,
- And all the deeps of the river shall dry up:
- And the pride of Assyria shall be brought down,
- And the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away.
- And I will strengthen them in the Lord;
- And they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the Lord.
- 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.
- Thus saith the Lord my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
- Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty:
- And they that sell them say, Blessed be the Lord: for I am rich:
