Zechariah 13:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 And if any of them are asked why they are wounded,[a] they will answer, “It happened at the house of some friends.”
A Wounded Shepherd and Scattered Sheep
7 (A) The Lord All-Powerful said:
My sword, wake up! Attack
my shepherd and friend.
Strike down the shepherd!
Scatter the little sheep,
and I will destroy them.
8 Nowhere in the land
will more than a third of them
be left alive.
Footnotes
- 13.6 wounded: Probably from slashing themselves in the worship of a false god (see 1 Kings 18.28).
