The King James Version Bible

Zechariah 11:8-13

  1. Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.

  2. Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.

  3. And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.

  4. And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.

  5. And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.

  6. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD.
