Zechariah 11:8
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.
In context
6 For I will no longer have compassion on the people of the land, declares the LORD, but behold, I will cause each man to fall into the hands of his neighbor and his king, who will devastate the land, and I will not deliver it from their hands.”
7 So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, especially the afflicted of the flock. Then I took for myself two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock.
8 And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.
9 Then I said, “I will no longer shepherd you. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish; and let those who remain devour one another’s flesh.”
10 Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.
