Zechariah 11:10 in context

Zechariah 11:7–13

7

So I fed the flock to be slaughtered, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called “Favor” and the other I called “Union”, and I fed the flock.

8

I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.

9

Then I said, “I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other’s flesh.”

10
Selected verse

I took my staff Favor and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.

11

It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the LORD’s word.

12

I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.

13

The LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter—the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the LORD’s house.
