Zechariah 11:4-11

4ThusH3541 saidH559 Jehovah my GodH430: FeedH7462 the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028; 5whose possessors slayH2026 them, and hold themselves not guiltyH816; and they that sellH4376 them sayH559, BlessedH1288 be Jehovah, for I am richH6238; and their own shepherdsH7462 pityH2550 them not. 6For I will no more pityH2550 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saith Jehovah; but, lo, I will deliverH5337 the menH376 every oneH376 into his neighbor’sH7453 handH3027, and into the handH3027 of his kingH4428; and they shall smite the landH776, and out of their handH3027 I will not deliverH5337 them. 7So I fed the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028, verily the poorH6041 of the flockH6629. And I tookH3947 unto me twoH8147 staves; the oneH259 I calledH7121 Beauty, and the other I calledH7121 Bands; and I fed the flockH6629. 8And I cut off the threeH7969 shepherdsH7462 in oneH259 monthH3391; for my soulH5315 was weary of them, and their soulH5315 alsoH1571 loathed me. 9Then saidH559 I, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it dieH4191; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let them that are leftH7604 eatH398 every one the fleshH1320 of another. 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.
