Zechariah 11:7-9

New International Version

⁷ So I shepherded the flock marked for slaughter,^(A) particularly the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs and called one Favor and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock. ⁸ In one month I got rid of the three shepherds.

The flock detested^(B) me, and I grew weary of them ⁹ and said, “I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish.^(C) Let those who are left eat^(D) one another’s flesh.”
