Zechariah Is Told to Take Care of the Sheep

1Open your doors, Lebanon, 

so that fire will be able to burn down your cedars. 

2Cry, 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.
