Zechariah 11:14-16

Good News Translation

¹⁴ Then I broke the second stick, the one called “Unity,” and the unity of Judah and Israel was shattered.

¹⁵ Then the Lord said to me, “Once again act the part of a shepherd, this time a worthless one. ¹⁶ I have put a shepherd in charge of my flock, but he does not help the sheep that are threatened by destruction; nor does he look for the lost, or heal those that are hurt, or feed the healthy. Instead, he eats the meat of the fattest sheep and tears off their hoofs.
