¶ The .xi. Chapter.
¶ The destruccion of the temple. The care of the faythfull
is commytted to Christ by the father. A greuous
vysyon agaynst Ierusalem and Iuda.
A Open thy dores, O Libanus, that þe;
fyre maye c&obar;sume thy Cedre trees.
Howle ye Fyrre trees for the Cedre
is fallen, yee, all the proude are
wasted awaye. Howle (O ye oke trees of
Baasan) for the myghtye stronge wood is
cut downe. Men may heare the shepherdes
mourne, for their glorye is destroyed. Men
may heare the lyons whelpes roare, for the
pryde of Iordane is wasted awaye.
Thus sayeth the Lorde my God: Fede the
shepe of the slaughter, whiche shalbe slayne
of those þt; possesse them: yet they take it for
no sinne, but they that sell them, saye: The
Lord be th&abar;cked, I am rich: yee, their awne
shepherdes spare th&ebar; not. Therfore wyll I
nomore spare those that dwell in the lande,
B
(sayeth the Lorde) but lo, I wil deliuer the
people, euery m&abar; into his neyghbours h&abar;de
and into the hande of his kynge: that they
maye smyte the lande, and out of their handes
I wyll not delyuer them.
I my selfe fedde þe; slaughter shepe (a poore
flocke verely) and toke vnto me two staues:
the one is called louyng mekenesse, the
other is called destroyer, &abar;d so kepte the shepe.
Thre shepherdes I putt out of offyce in
one moneth, for I myght not awaye wyth
th&ebar;, nether had they eny delyte in me. Then
sayde I: I wyll fede you nomore note þe; thynge
that dyeth, let it dye: and that wyll perysh,
let it perish, and let the remnaunt eate, euery
one the fleshe of his neyghboure. I toke
also my louynge meke staff, and brake it, þt;
I myght disanull the note couenaunt, which I
made wyth all people. And so it was brok&ebar;
in that daye.
C Then the poore symple shepe that had a
respect vnto me, knewe therby, that it was
the worde of the Lorde. And I sayde vnto
them: yf ye thinck it good, bring hyther my
pryce: yf no, then leaue. noteSo they wayed
downe .xxx. syluer pens, the value þt; I was
prysed at. And the Lorde said vnto me: cast
it vnto the potter (a goodly pryce for me to
be valued at of them) and I toke the .xxx.
syluer pens, and cast them to the potter in þe;
house of the Lorde. Then brake I my other
staf also (namely destroyer) þt; I might lowse
þe; brotherhead betwixt Iuda and Israel.
And the Lorde sayde vnto me.
D Take þe; also
the staff of a foolysh shepherde: for lo, I wyl
rayse vp a shepherde in the l&abar;de, which shal
not seke after þe; thinges that be lost, ner care
for such as go astraye: he shal not heale þe;
wo&ubar;ded, he shall not norysh the thinge that
is whole: but he shal eate the flesh of soch as
be fat, and teare theyr clawes in peces.
O Idols shepherde, that leaueth the flocke.
The swerde shall come vpon hys arme
and vpon hys ryght eye. Hys arme shalbe
cleane dryed vp, and hys ryght eye shalbe
sore blynded.
