Zechariah 11:9-11

International Standard Version

⁹ So I said, “I will no longer be your shepherd. Let those who are about to die perish, and let what is about to be destroyed be destroyed. As for the survivors, let them devour each other.”

¹⁰ Then I took the staff that I had named “Pleasant” and broke it, showing I was breaking my covenant that I had made with all of the people. ¹¹ It was broken at that time^[a] so the oppressed of the flock who were observing me would know that it had been a message from the Lord.
