Zechariah 11:8-10

New American Standard Bible

⁸ Then I did away with the three shepherds in ^(A)one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also ^[a]was tired of me. ⁹ Then I said, “I will not pasture you. What is to ^(B)die, ^[b]let it die, and what is to perish, ^[c]let it perish; and ^[d]let those who are left eat one another’s flesh.” ¹⁰ And I took my staff ^[e](C)Favor and cut it in pieces, to ^[f](D)break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
