Zechariah 11:10-17

10And I tookH3947 my staffH4731 Beauty, and cutH3772 it asunder, that I might breakH6565 my covenantH1285 which I had madeH3772 with all the peoplesH5971. 11And it was brokenH6565 in that dayH3117; and thusH3651 the poorH6041 of the flockH6629 that gave heedH8104 unto me knewH3045 that it was the wordH1697 of Jehovah. 12And I saidH559 unto them, If ye think goodH2896, giveH3051 me my hireH7939; and if not, forbear. So they weighedH8254 for my hireH7939 thirtyH7970 pieces of silverH3701. 13And Jehovah saidH559 unto me, CastH7993 it unto the potterH3335, the goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I tookH3947 the thirtyH7970 pieces of silverH3701, and castH7993 them unto the potterH3335, in the houseH1004 of Jehovah. 14Then I cutH1438 asunder mine other staffH4731, even Bands, that I might breakH6565 the brotherhood between JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478.

15And Jehovah saidH559 unto me, TakeH3947 unto thee yetH5750 againH5750 the instrumentsH3627 of a foolish shepherdH7462. 16For, lo, I will raiseH6965 up a shepherdH7462 in the landH776, who will not visitH6485 those that are cut off, neither will seekH1245 those that are scattered, nor healH7495 that which is brokenH7665, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eatH398 the fleshH1320 of the fatH1277 sheep, and will tearH6561 their hoofsH6541 in pieces. 17WoeH1945 to the worthlessH457 shepherd that leaveth the flockH6629! the swordH2719 shall be upon his armH2220, and upon his rightH3225 eyeH5869: his armH2220 shall be clean driedH3001 up, and his rightH3225 eyeH5869 shall be utterly darkened.
