Zechariah 11:5-7

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁵ Those who buy them slaughter them but are not punished.^(A) Those who sell them say, “Blessed be the Lord because I have become rich!” Even their own shepherds have no compassion for them. ⁶ Indeed, I will no longer have compassion on the inhabitants of the land’ – this is the Lord’s declaration. ‘Instead, I will turn everyone over to his neighbour and his king. They will devastate the land, and I will not rescue it from their hand.’^(B)

⁷ So I shepherded the flock intended for slaughter, the oppressed of the flock.^[a] I took two staffs, calling one Favour^(C) and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock.
