Zechariah 11:6-9
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.
11:9 I then said, “I will not shepherd you. What is to die, let it die, and what is to be eradicated, let it be eradicated. As for those who survive, let them eat each other’s flesh!”
