Zechariah 11:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸ In a single month I got rid of three shepherds because I grew tired of them, and they despised me. ⁹ So I said, “I will no longer be your shepherd. Let those who are about to die perish, and let what is about to be destroyed be destroyed. As for the survivors, let them devour each other.”

¹⁰ Then I took the staff that I had named “Pleasant” and broke it, showing I was breaking my covenant that I had made with all of the people.
