Zechariah 11:10 Context
8Three shepheards also I cut off in one moneth, and my soule loathed them, and their soule also abhorred mee. 9Then said I, I will not feede you: that that dieth, let it die: and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off, and let the rest eate, euery one the flesh of another. 10¶ And I tooke my staffe, euen Beautie, and cut it asunder, that I might breake my couenant which I had made with all the people. 11And it was broken in that day: and so the poore of the flocke that waited vpon me, knew that it was the word of the Lord. 12And I said vnto them, If yee thinke good, giue me my price: and if not, forbeare: so they weighed for my price thirtie pieces of siluer.
