Zechariah Is Told to Take Care of the Sheep

11 Open your doors, Lebanon,
so that fire will be able to burn down your cedars.
Cry, cypress trees,
because the cedars have fallen
and the stately trees have been destroyed.
Cry, oak trees of Bashan,
because your dense forest has fallen down.
Listen! The shepherds are crying,
because their rich pastures are destroyed.
Listen! The young lions are roaring,
because the lush banks of the Jordan are destroyed.
