In the twenty and fourth day to the eleventh month, this the month Sabat, in the second year to Darius, was the word of Jehovah to Zechariah, son of Barachiah, son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

And I will take my rod Beauty, and I will cut it off, to break my covenant which I cut out with all the peoples.

And I shall cut off my second rod, Cords, to break the brotherhood between Judah and between Israel.

For behold, I raise up a shepherd in the land, he shall not review those being concealed; the youth he shall not seek, and he shall not heal the broken, and he shall not nourish the standing firmly: and he shall eat the flesh of the fading, and he shall break their hoofs.
