Zechariah 11:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ Then I broke my second staff called Union. That broke the family connection between Judah and Israel.

¹⁵ The Lord said to me, “Now pretend to be a foolish shepherd. Get the things you need. ¹⁶ I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land. He will not take care of those that are wounded. He will not look for the young ones. He will not heal those that are hurt. He will not feed the healthy ones. Instead, he will eat the best sheep. He will even tear their hooves off.
