Zechariah 11:5-7

Christian Standard Bible

⁵ Those who buy them slaughter them but are not punished.^(A) Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord because I have become rich!’ Even their own shepherds have no compassion for them. ⁶ Indeed, I will no longer have compassion on the inhabitants of the land”—this is the Lord’s declaration. “Instead, I will turn everyone over to his neighbor and his king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue it from their hand.”^(B)

⁷ So I shepherded the flock intended for slaughter, the oppressed of the flock.^[a] I took two staffs, calling one Favor^(C) and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock.
