4 This is what the LORD my God says: |Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter. 5 Their buyers slaughter them without being punished, continuing to sell them as they say, 'Bless the LORD!' and, 'I'm rich!' Meanwhile, their shepherds show them no compassion. 6 Therefore I will no longer show compassion upon those who live in the land,| declares the LORD. |Look! I will deliver every single person into the control of his neighbor and into the control of the king. Even though they assault the land, I will not deliver it from their control.| 7 So I became shepherd of the flock marked for slaughter, paying attention to the oppressed of the flock. I took two staffs—naming one |Pleasant| and the other one |Union|—and then I pastured the flock. Zechariah 11:4-7, Intl. Standard Version. Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.
