Zechariah 11:10-17

10I took my staff 12Favor and cut it in pieces, to 34break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples. 11So it was 5broken on that day, and 6thus the 7afflicted of the flock who were watching me realized that it was the word of the Lord. 12I said to them, “If it is good in your sight, give me my 8wages; but if not, 9never mind!” So they weighed out 10thirty shekels of silver as my wages. 13Then the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the 11potter, that magnificent price at which I was valued by them.” So I took the thirty shekels of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the Lord. 14Then I cut in pieces my second staff 1213Union, to 14break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

15The Lord said to me, “Take again for yourself the equipment of a 1516foolish shepherd. 16For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will 17not care for the perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or sustain the one standing, but will 18devour the flesh of the fat sheep and tear off their hoofs.1719Woe to the worthless shepherd Who leaves the flock! A 20sword will be on his arm And on his right eye! His 21arm will be totally withered And his right eye will be 22blind.”
