Zechariah 11:3 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

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.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

You can hear the shepherds crying out because everything they took pride in has been destroyed. You can hear young lions roaring because even the lush forests along the Jordan River have been ruined.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

When the things we're most proud of get taken away, the pain hits different.

Zechariah 11:16

Listen up — I'm about to put a shepherd in charge of this land who couldn't care less about his flock. He won't check on the lost sheep, won't go looking for the young ones who wander off, won't bandage up the injured, and won't even feed the ones standing right there hungry. Instead, this guy's going to devour the healthy sheep and completely destroy them.
