Zechariah 11:8-10
Living Bible
8 And I got rid of their three evil shepherds in a single month. But I became impatient with these sheep—this nation—and they hated me too.
9 So I told them, “I won’t be your shepherd any longer. If you die, you die; if you are killed, I don’t care. Go ahead and destroy yourselves!”
10 And I took my staff called Grace and snapped it in two, showing that I had broken my contract to lead and protect them.

Zechariah 11:8-10
New International Version
8 In one month I got rid of the three shepherds.
The flock detested(A) me, and I grew weary of them 9 and said, “I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish.(B) Let those who are left eat(C) one another’s flesh.”
10 Then I took my staff called Favor(D) and broke it, revoking(E) the covenant I had made with all the nations.
