Zechariah 11:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ So I shepherded the flock that was for slaughter, even the afflicted of the flock. And I took for myself two staffs. One I called Favor and the other I gave the name Union. So I pastured the flock. ⁸ I destroyed the three shepherds in the span of one month.

For my soul was impatient with them, and their souls detested me. ⁹ Then I said, “I will not shepherd you. What is to die, let it die. What is to be destroyed, let it be destroyed. Let those who are left devour each other’s flesh.”
