Zechariah 11:9-11
Lexham English Bible
9 So I said, “I will not shepherd you! The one dying will die, and the one to be destroyed will be destroyed. And the ones remaining, let them devour the flesh of each other.”[a] 10 And I took my staff Kindness and broke it, to break my covenant that I had made[b] with all the peoples. 11 And it was broken on that day. Then the afflicted[c] of the flock,[d] the ones who were watching me, knew that it was the word of Yahweh.
