Zechariah 11:5

Israel's Shepherds: Good And Bad

⁴ Thus saith Jehovah my God: Feed the flock of slaughter, ⁵ whose possessors slay them without being held guilty; and they that sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah! for I am become rich; and their own shepherds pity them not. ⁶ For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith Jehovah, and behold, I will deliver men, every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and I will not deliver out of their hand.
