Bible. Zechariah
38:011:009 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die;
and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the
rest eat every one the flesh of another.
38:011:010 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I
might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
38:011:011 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock
that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
38:011:012 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and
if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of
silver.
38:011:013 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly
price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty
pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of
the LORD.
38:011:014 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might
break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
38:011:015 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments
of a foolish shepherd.
38:011:016 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall
not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young
one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth
still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their
claws in pieces.
38:011:017 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword
shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall
be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly
darkened.
38:012:001 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD,
which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation
of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
38:012:002 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the
people round about, when they shall be in the siege both
against Judah and against Jerusalem.
38:012:003 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for
all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in
pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered
together against it.
38:012:004 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with
astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine
eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of
the people with blindness.
38:012:005 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The
inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of
hosts their God.
