Bible. Zechariah
my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
011:011 It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock
that listened to me knew that it was the word of Yahweh.
011:012 I said to them, "If you think it best, give me my wages;
and if not, keep them." So they weighed for my wages thirty
pieces of silver.
011:013 Yahweh said to me, "Throw it to the potter, the handsome price
that I was valued at by them!" I took the thirty pieces of silver,
and threw them to the potter, in the house of Yahweh.
011:014 Then I cut apart my other staff, even Union, that I might break
the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
011:015 Yahweh said to me, "Take for yourself yet again the equipment
of a foolish shepherd.
011:016 For, behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land,
who will not visit those who are cut off, neither will seek
those who are scattered, nor heal that which is broken,
nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh
of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces.
011:017 Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock!
The sword will be on his arm, and on his right eye.
His arm will be completely withered, and his right eye will
be totally blinded!"
012:001 An oracle. The word of Yahweh concerning Israel.
Yahweh, who stretches out the heavens, and lays the foundation
of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him says:
012:002 "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all
the surrounding peoples, and on Judah also will it be in
the siege against Jerusalem.
012:003 It will happen in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome
stone for all the peoples. All who burden themselves with it
will be severely wounded, and all the nations of the earth
will be gathered together against it.
012:004 In that day," says Yahweh, "I will strike every horse
with terror, and his rider with madness; and I will open
my eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse
of the peoples with blindness.
012:005 The chieftains of Judah will say in their heart, 'The inhabitants
of Jerusalem are my strength in Yahweh of Armies their God.'
012:006 In that day I will make the chieftains of Judah like a pan
of fire among wood, and like a flaming torch among sheaves;
and they will devour all the surrounding peoples, on the right
hand and on the left; and Jerusalem will yet again dwell
in their own place, even in Jerusalem.
012:007 Yahweh also will save the tents of Judah first, that the glory
of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants
of Jerusalem not be magnified above Judah.
012:008 In that day Yahweh will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
He who is feeble among them at that day will be like David,
