Zechariah 11:10

Read in context

Zechariah 11:8–12 · Berean Standard Bible

8 And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.

9 Then I said, “I will no longer shepherd you. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish; and let those who remain devour one another’s flesh.”

10 Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.

11 It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the LORD.

12 Then I told them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.
