Zechariah 11:3-9
3There is a soundH6963 of the shepherds’H7462 1wailH3215, For their gloryH155 is ruinedH7703; There is a 2soundH6963 of the youngH3715 lions’H3715 roarH7581, For the 3prideH1347 of the JordanH3383 is ruinedH7703.
4ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068 my GodH430, “PastureH7462 the flockH6629 doomed to 4slaughterH2028. 5Those whoH834 buyH7069 them slayH2026 them and 5goH816 6unpunishedH3808H816, and each of those who sellH4376 them saysH559, ‘BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068, for 7I have becomeH6238 richH6238!’ And their 8own shepherdsH7462 haveH2550 noH3808 pityH2550 on them. 6For I will 9noH3808 longerH5750 haveH2550 pityH2550 on the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776,” declaresH5002 the LordH3068; “but beholdH2009, I will 10cause the menH120 to 11fallH4672, eachH376 into another’sH7453 12powerH3027 and into the 13powerH3027 of his kingH4428; and they will strikeH3807 the landH776, and I will 14not deliverH5337 them from their 15powerH3027.”
7So I 16pasturedH7462 the flockH6629 doomed to slaughterH2028, 17henceH3651 the 18afflictedH6041 of the flockH6629. And I tookH3947 for myself twoH8147 19staffsH4731: the oneH259 I calledH7121 2021FavorH5278 and the otherH259 I calledH7121 2223UnionH2260; so I pasturedH7462 the flockH6629. 8Then I annihilatedH3582 the threeH7969 shepherdsH7462 in 24oneH259 monthH3391, for my soulH5315 was impatientH7114 with them, and their soulH5315 alsoH1571 25was wearyH973 of me. 9Then I saidH559, “I will not pastureH7462 you. What is to 26dieH4191, 27let it dieH4191, and what is to be annihilatedH3582, 28let it be annihilatedH3582; and 29let those who are leftH7604 eatH398 oneH802 another’sH7468 fleshH1320.”
