Zechariah 11:15 Context
13And the Lord said vnto mee, Cast it vnto the potter: a goodly price, that I was prised at of them. And I tooke the thirtie pieces of siluer, and cast them to the potter in the house of the Lord. 14Then I cut asunder mine other staffe, euen Bands, that I might break the brotherhood betweene Iudah and Israel. 15¶ And the Lord said vnto me, Take vnto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepheard. 16For loe, I wil raise vp a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that bee cut off, neither shall seeke the yong one, nor heale that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shal eate the flesh of the fat, and teare their clawes in pieces. 17Woe to the idoll shepheard that leaueth the flocke: the sword shall be vpon his arme, and vpon his right eye: his arme shall be cleane dryed vp, and his right eye shall be vtterly darkened.
