Zechariah 11:7-14
7And I will feedH7462 the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028, even youH3651, O poorH6041 of the flockH6629. And I tookH3947 unto me twoH8147 stavesH4731; the oneH259 I calledH7121 GraceH5278, and the otherH259 I calledH7121 UnionH2254; and I fedH7462 the flockH6629.12 8ThreeH7969 shepherdsH7462 also I cut offH3582 in oneH259 monthH3391; and my soulH5315 lothedH7114 them, and their soulH5315 also abhorredH973 me.3 9Then saidH559 I, I will not feedH7462 you: that that diethH4191, let it dieH4191; and that that is to be cut offH3582, let it be cut offH3582; and let the restH7604 eatH398 every oneH802 the fleshH1320 of anotherH7468.4
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 YhwhH3068.5 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 silverH3701.6 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 IsraelH3478.7
