Zechariah 11:6-8

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁶ For I will ^(A)no longer have pity on the inhabitants of the land,” declares the Lord; “but behold, I will ^(B)cause the men to ^[a]fall, each into another’s ^[b]power and into the ^[c]power of his king; and they will strike the land, and I will ^(C)not deliver them from their ^[d]power.”

⁷ So I ^(D)pastured the flock doomed to slaughter, ^[e]hence the ^(E)afflicted of the flock. And I took for myself two ^(F)staffs: the one I called ^[f](G)Favor and the other I called ^[g](H)Union; so I pastured the flock. ⁸ Then I annihilated the three shepherds in ^(I)one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also ^[h]was weary of me.
