4 The LORD my God says this: |Shepherd the flock set aside for slaughter. 5 Those who buy them slaughter them and are not held guilty; those who sell them say, 'Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich.' Their own shepherds have no compassion for them. 6 Indeed, I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land,| says the LORD, |but instead I will turn every last person over to his neighbor and his king. They will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from them.| 7 So I began to shepherd the flock destined for slaughter, the most afflicted of all the flock. Then I took two staffs, calling one |Pleasantness| and the other |Binders,| and I tended the flock. Zechariah 11:4-7, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
