Zechariah 11:10-17

10I tookH3947 my staffH4731 12FavorH5278 and cutH1438 it in piecesH1438, to 34breakH6565 my covenantH1285 whichH834 I had madeH3772 with allH3605 the peoplesH5971. 11So it was 5brokenH6565 on that dayH3117, and 6thusH3651 the 7afflictedH6041 of the flockH6629 who were watchingH8104 me realizedH3045 that it was the wordH1697 of the LordH3068. 12I saidH559 to them, “IfH518 it is goodH2896 in your sightH5869, giveH3051 me my 8wagesH7939; but ifH518 not, 9neverH2308 mindH2308!” So they weighedH8254 out 10thirtyH7970 shekels of silverH3701 as my wagesH7939. 13Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “ThrowH7993 it to the 11potterH3335, that magnificentH145 priceH3366 at whichH834 I was valuedH3365 by them.” So I tookH3947 the thirtyH7970 shekels of silverH3701 and threwH7993 them to the potterH3335 in the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. 14Then I cutH1438 in piecesH1438 my secondH8145 staffH4731 1213UnionH2260, to 14breakH6565 the brotherhoodH264 betweenH996 JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478.

15The LordH3068 saidH559 to me, “TakeH3947 againH5750 for yourself the equipmentH3627 of a 1516foolishH196 shepherdH7462. 16For beholdH2009, I am going to raiseH6965 up a shepherdH7462 in the landH776 who will 17not careH6485 for the perishingH3582, seekH1245 the scatteredH5289, healH7495 the brokenH7665, or sustainH3557 the one standingH5324, but will 18devourH398 the fleshH1320 of the fatH1277 sheep and tearH6561 offH6561 their hoofsH6541.1719WoeH1945 to the worthlessH457 shepherdH7473 Who leavesH5800 the flockH6629! A 20swordH2719 will be on his armH2220 And on his rightH3225 eyeH5869! His 21armH2220 will be totallyH3001 witheredH3001 And his rightH3225 eyeH5869 will be 22blindH3543.”
