Zechariah 11:4-11

4ThusH3541 saidH559 the LORDH3068 my GodH430: FeedH7462 the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028;

5whoseH834 possessors slayH2026 them, and holdH2550 themselvesH5921 notH3808 guiltyH816; and they that sellH4376 them sayH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, for I am richH6238: and their own shepherdsH7462 pityH2550 them notH3808.

6For I will noH3808 moreH5750 pityH2550 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776, saith the LORDH3068: but, loH2009, I will deliverH5337 the menH376 everyH376 one intoH5921 his neighbour’s handH3027, and intoH5921 the handH3027 of his kingH4428: and they shall smite the landH776, and outH5921 of their handH3027 I will notH3808 deliverH5337 them.

7SoH3651 I fed the flockH6629 of slaughterH2028, verily the poorH6041 of the flockH6629. And I tookH3947 unto meH7121 twoH8147 staves; the one I calledH7121 BeautyH5278, and the otherH259 I calledH7121 Bands; and I fed the flockH6629.

8And I cutH3582 offH3582 the threeH7969 shepherdsH7462 in one monthH3391; for my soulH5315 was weary of them, and their soulH5315 also loathed meH5315.

9Then saidH559 I, I will notH3808 feedH398 youH3808: that that dieth, letH3808 it dieH4191; and that that is to be cutH3582 offH3582, letH3808 it be cutH3582 offH3582; and letH3808 them whichH802 are leftH7604 eatH398 everyH802 one the fleshH1320 of anotherH802.

10And I tookH3947 my staffH4731 BeautyH5278, and cutH3772 it asunderH1438, that I might breakH6565 my covenantH1285 whichH834 I had madeH3772 with allH3605 the peoplesH5971.

11And it was brokenH6565 in that dayH3117: and thusH3651 the poorH6041 of the flockH6629 that gave heedH8104 unto meH8104 knewH3045 that it was the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
