Zechariah 11:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Thus saith the Lord my God, Feed the sheep of the [a]slaughter.
5 They that possess them, slay them [b]and sin not: and they that sell them, say, [c]Blessed be the Lord: for I am rich, and their own shepherds spare them not.
6 Surely I will no more spare those that dwell in the land, saith the Lord: but lo, [d]I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor’s hand, and into the hand of his [e]king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hands I will not deliver them.

New International Version
Two Shepherds
4 This is what the Lord my God says: “Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.(A) 5 Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Praise the Lord, I am rich!’ Their own shepherds do not spare them.(B) 6 For I will no longer have pity on the people of the land,” declares the Lord. “I will give everyone into the hands of their neighbors(C) and their king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue anyone from their hands.”(D)
