Zechariah 11:7-9
Living Bible
7 So I took two shepherd’s staffs, naming one Grace and the other Union, and I fed the flock as I had been told to do. 8 And I got rid of their three evil shepherds in a single month. But I became impatient with these sheep—this nation—and they hated me too.
9 So I told them, “I won’t be your shepherd any longer. If you die, you die; if you are killed, I don’t care. Go ahead and destroy yourselves!”

Zechariah 11:7-9
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.”
