  • Zech 11:4-9 : 4 This is what the LORD my God says: ‘Shepherd the flock marked for slaughter.’ 5 Their buyers slaughter them without remorse, and those who sell them say, 'Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich.' Their own shepherds show no pity on them. 6 For I will no longer show pity to the people of the land,' declares the LORD. 'I will give everyone into the hands of their neighbors and their king. They will crush the land, and I will not deliver them from their power.' 7 So I shepherded the flock marked for slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. Then I took two staffs—one I called Favor and the other Union—and I shepherded the flock. 8 In one month I disposed of the three shepherds. My soul was impatient with them, and their soul also loathed me. 9 Then I said, 'I will not shepherd you any longer. Let the dying die, and let the perishing perish. Let those who are left eat one another’s flesh.' 10 So I took my staff called Favor and broke it, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations. 11 So it was broken on that day, and the oppressed of the flock who were watching me understood that this was the word of the LORD. 12 I said to them, 'If it seems good to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.' So they weighed out my wages—thirty pieces of silver. 13 Then the LORD said to me, 'Throw it to the potter—the splendid price at which they valued me!' So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD to the potter. 14 Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the bond of brotherhood between Judah and Israel. 15 The LORD said to me, 'Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16 For behold, I am raising up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those being destroyed, seek the young, heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the fat sheep and tear off their hooves.' 17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! May the sword strike his arm and his right eye. May his arm wither completely, and his right eye become totally blind.

He said, 'Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.' Jesus said to him, 'Feed my sheep.'
