Zechariah 11:7

Israel's Shepherds: Good And Bad

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. ⁷ So I fed the flock of slaughter, truly the poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. ⁸ And I destroyed three shepherds in one month; and my soul was vexed with them, and their soul also loathed me.
