Zechariah 11:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 And it was broken on that day. Then the afflicted[a] of the flock,[b] the ones who were watching me, knew that it was the word of Yahweh. 12 And I said to them, “If it seems right to you,[c] give me my wages, but if not, keep them.”[d] And they weighed out my wages, thirty silver shekels. 13 And Yahweh said to me, “Throw it to the potter,”[e] this noble price[f] at which I was valued by them!” So I took the thirty silver shekels and I threw them to the potter[g] in the house of Yahweh.
