Zechariah 11:10-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁰ I took my staff Favor and broke it, annulling the covenant that I had made with all the peoples. ¹¹ So it was annulled on that day, and the sheep merchants, who were watching me, knew that it was the word of the Lord. ¹² I then said to them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” So they weighed out as my wages thirty shekels of silver. ¹³ Then the Lord said to me, “Throw it into the treasury”^[a]—this lordly price at which I was valued by them. So I took the thirty shekels of silver and threw them into the treasury^[b] in the house of the Lord.
