Zechariah 11:5-8
11:5 Those who buy them
slaughter them and are not held guilty; those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the
Lord, for I am rich.’ Their own shepherds have no compassion for them.
11:6 Indeed, I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land,” says the
Lord, “but instead I will turn every last person over to his neighbor and his king. They will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from them.”
11:7 So I began to shepherd the flock destined for slaughter, the most afflicted of all the flock. Then I took two staffs, calling one “Pleasantness” and the other “Binders,” and I tended the flock.
11:8 Next I eradicated the three shepherds in one month, for I ran out of patience with them and, indeed, they detested me as well.
Zechariah 11:17
11:17 Woe to the worthless shepherd
who abandons the flock!
May a sword fall on his arm and his right eye!
May his arm wither completely away,
and his right eye become completely blind!”
