4Thus saith the Lord Almighty, Feed the sheep of the slaughter;

5which their possessors have slain, and have not repented: and they that sold them said, Blessed be the Lord; for we have become rich: and their shepherds have suffered no sorrow for them.

— Zechariah 11:6 —

7And I will tend the flock of slaughter in the land of Canaan: and I will take for myself two rods; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Line; and I will tend the flock.

8And I will cut off three shepherds in one month; and my soul shall grieve over them, for their souls cried out against me.
