Zechariah 11:7-9
Legacy Standard Bible
7 So I (A)shepherded the flock doomed to slaughter—[a]hence the (B)afflicted of the flock. And I took for myself two (C)staffs: the one I called [b](D)Favor, and the other I called [c](E)Union; so I shepherded the flock. 8 Then I annihilated the three shepherds in (F)one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also [d]was weary of me. 9 Then I said, “I will not shepherd you. What is to (G)die, [e]let it die, and what is to be annihilated, [f]let it be annihilated; and [g]let those who remain consume one another’s flesh.”

New International Version
7 So I shepherded the flock marked for slaughter,(A) particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favor and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock. 8 In one month I got rid of the three shepherds.
The flock detested(B) me, and I grew weary of them 9 and said, “I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish.(C) Let those who are left eat(D) one another’s flesh.”
