Zechariah 11:4-14

4ThusH3541 saith Jehovah my 1GodH430: FeedH7462 the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028,

5whose possessors slayH2026 them without being held guiltyH816; and they that sellH4376 them sayH559, BlessedH1288 be Jehovah! for I am becomeH6238 richH6238; and their own shepherdsH7462 pityH2550 them not.

6For I will no more pityH2550 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saith Jehovah, and behold, I will deliverH5337 menH376, every oneH376 into his neighbour's handH3027, and into the handH3027 of his kingH4428; and they shall smite the landH776, and I will not deliverH5337 out of their handH3027.

7So I fed the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028, truly 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 destroyedH3582 threeH7969 shepherdsH7462 in oneH259 monthH3391; and my soulH5315 was vexed with them, and their soulH5315 alsoH1571 loathed me.

9And I saidH559, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it dieH4191; and that which perisheth let it perish; and let them which 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 so the poorH6041 of the flockH6629 that gave heedH8104 to 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. And they weighedH8254 for my hireH7939 thirtyH7970 silver-pieces.

13And Jehovah saidH559 unto me, CastH7993 it unto the potterH3335: a goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I tookH3947 the thirtyH7970 silver-pieces, and castH7993 them to the potterH3335 in the houseH1004 of Jehovah.

14And I cutH1438 asunder mine other staffH4731, Bands, to breakH6565 the brotherhood between JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478.
