Zechariah 11:4-6

Good News Translation

The Two Shepherds

⁴ The Lord my God said to me, “Act the part of the shepherd^[a] of a flock of sheep that are going to be butchered. ⁵ Their owners kill them and go unpunished. They sell the meat and say, ‘Praise the Lord! We are rich!’ Even their own shepherds have no pity on them.”

(⁶ The Lord said, “I will no longer pity anyone on earth. I myself will put all the people in the power of their rulers. These rulers will devastate the earth, and I will not save it from their power.”)
