Zechariah 11:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 So on behalf of the sheep merchants,[a] I became the shepherd of the flock doomed to slaughter. I took two staffs; one I named Favor, the other I named Unity, and I tended the sheep.(A) 8 In one month I disposed of the three shepherds, for I had become impatient with them, and they also detested me.(B) 9 So I said, “I will not be your shepherd. What is to die, let it die; what is to be destroyed, let it be destroyed; and let those that are left devour the flesh of one another!”
