Zechariah 10
12 "And I will strengthen them in the Lord, And in His name they will walk," declares the Lord.
Zechariah 11
1 Open your doors, O Lebanon, That a fire may feed on your cedars.
2 Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, Because the glorious trees have been destroyed; Wail, O oaks of Bashan, For the impenetrable forest has come down.
3 There is a sound of the shepherds’ wail, For their glory is ruined; There is a sound of the young lions’ roar, For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
4 Thus says the Lord my God, "Pasture the flock doomed to slaughter.
5 Those who buy them slay them and go unpunished, and each of those who sell them says, ’Blessed be the Lord, for I have become rich!’ And their own shepherds have no pity on them.
6 For I will no longer have pity on the inhabitants of the land," declares the Lord; "but behold, I will cause the men to fall, each into another’s power and into the power of his king; and they will strike the land, and I will not deliver them from their power."
7 So I pastured the flock doomed to slaughter, hence the afflicted of the flock. And I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Favor and the other I called Union; so I pastured the flock.
8 Then I annihilated the three shepherds in one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also was weary of me.
9 Then I said, "I will not pasture you. What is to die, let it die, and what is to be annihilated, let it be annihilated; and let those who are left eat one another’s flesh."
10 I took my staff Favor and cut it in pieces, to break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
