Zechariah 11 : 3 - 10
Chapter 11
| 3 | There is the sound of wailing shepherds! For their glory is in ruins. There is the sound of roaring lions! For the pride of the Jordan is in ruins. |
| 4 | Thus says the LORD my God, "Feed the flock for slaughter, |
| 5 | whose owners slaughter them and feel no guilt; those who sell them say, "Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich'; and their shepherds do not pity them. |
| 6 | For I will no longer pity the inhabitants of the land," says the LORD. "But indeed I will give everyone into his neighbor's hand and into the hand of his king. They shall attack the land, and I will not deliver them from their hand." |
| 7 | So I fed the flock for slaughter, in particular the poor of the flock. I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bonds; and I fed the flock. |
| 8 | I dismissed the three shepherds in one month. My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me. |
| 9 | Then I said, "I will not feed you. Let what is dying die, and what is perishing perish. Let those that are left eat each other's flesh." |
| 10 | And I took my staff, Beauty, and cut it in two, that I might break the covenant which I had made with all the peoples. |
