Zechariah 11:10-17

10And I tookH3947 my staffH4731, even GraceH5278, and cut it asunderH1438, that I might breakH6565 my covenantH1285 which I had madeH3772 with all the peopleH5971. 11And it was brokenH6565 in that dayH3117: and so the poorH6041 of the flockH6629 that waitedH8104 upon me knewH3045 that it was the wordH1697 of YhwhH3068.1 12And I saidH559 unto them, If ye thinkH5869 goodH2896, giveH3051 me my priceH7939; and if not, forbearH2308. So they weighedH8254 for my priceH7939 thirtyH7970 pieces of silverH3701.2 13And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto me, CastH7993 it unto the potterH3335: a goodlyH145 priceH3366 that I was prised atH3365 of them. And I tookH3947 the thirtyH7970 pieces of silverH3701, and castH7993 them to the potterH3335 in the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068. 14Then I cut asunderH1438 mine otherH8145 staffH4731, even UnionH2254, that I might breakH6565 the brotherhoodH264 between JudahH3063 and IsraelH3478.3

15And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto me, TakeH3947 unto thee yet the instrumentsH3627 of a foolishH196 shepherdH7462. 16For, lo, I will raise upH6965 a shepherdH7462 in the landH776, which shall not visitH6485 those that be cut offH3582, neither shall seekH1245 the young oneH5289, nor healH7495 that that is brokenH7665, nor feedH3557 that that standethH5324 still: but he shall eatH398 the fleshH1320 of the fatH1277, and tearH6561 their clawsH6541 in piecesH6561.45 17WoeH1945 to the vainH457 shepherdH7473 that leavethH5800 the flockH6629! the swordH2719 shall be upon his armH2220, and upon his rightH3225 eyeH5869: his armH2220 shall be cleanH3001 dried upH3001, and his rightH3225 eyeH5869 shall be utterlyH3543 darkenedH3543.
