Zechariah 11:12-14

The Message

¹² Then I addressed them: “Pay me what you think I’m worth.” They paid me an insulting sum, counting out thirty silver coins.

¹³ God told me, “Throw it in the poor box.” This stingy wage was all they thought of me and my work! So I took the thirty silver coins and threw them into the poor box in God’s Temple.

¹⁴ Then I broke the other staff, Harmony, across my knee, breaking the family ties between Judah and Israel.
