Zechariah 11:8-10

21st Century King James Version

⁸ Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them and their soul also abhorred me.

⁹ Then said I, “I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die, and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.”

¹⁰ And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
