Zechariah 11:7-8, 10-11, 14

Zechariah 11:7-8 NLT

So I cared for the flock intended for slaughter—the flock that was oppressed. Then I took two shepherd’s staffs and named one Favor and the other Union. I got rid of their three evil shepherds in a single month. But I became impatient with these sheep, and they hated me, too.

Zechariah 11:10-11 NLT

Then I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, showing that I had revoked the covenant I had made with all the nations. That was the end of my covenant with them. The suffering flock was watching me, and they knew that the LORD was speaking through my actions.

Zechariah 11:14 NLT

Then I took my other staff, Union, and cut it in two, showing that the bond of unity between Judah and Israel was broken.
