In context

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.

— Zechariah 11:9 —

10And I will take my beautiful staff, and cast it away, that I may break my covenant which I made with all the people.

11And it shall be broken in that day; and the Canaanites, the sheep that are kept for me, shall know that it is the word of the Lord.
