Zechariah 11:13-16 Common English Bible (CEB)

13. The Lord said to me,"Put it in the treasury.They value me at too magnificent a price."So I took the thirty shekels of silverand put them in the treasury of the Lord’s house.

14. Then I chopped up my second staff Harmony,to break the alliance between Judah and Israel.

15. Then the Lord said to me,"Take for yourself again the equipment of a foolish shepherd,

16. because I am about to appoint a shepherd in the land.He won’t tend to those who have been removed.He won’t seek the young or heal the broken.He won’t sustain the one standing.Instead, he will devour the flesh of the fat ones, even tearing off their hooves.
