Zechariah 11:7-9

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁷ So I shepherded the flock intended for slaughter, the oppressed of the flock.^[a] I took two staffs, calling one Favour^(A) and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock. ⁸ In one month I got rid of three shepherds. I became impatient with them, and they also detested me. ⁹ Then I said, ‘I will no longer shepherd you. Let what is dying die, and let what is perishing perish; let the rest devour each other’s flesh.’
