← Zechariah 11:6	Zechariah 11:7 (KJV)	Zechariah 11:8 →
For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver [them].	And I will feed the flock of slaughter, [even] you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock.	Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
