Zechariah 11:7 in Context — Zechariah 11

5 A las cuales mataban sus compradores, y no se tenían por culpables; y el que las vendía, decía: Bendito sea Jehová, que he enriquecido; ni sus pastores tenían piedad de ellas.

6 Por tanto, no más tendré piedad de los moradores de la tierra, dice Jehová: porque he aquí, yo entregaré los hombres, cada cual en mano de su compañero, y en mano de su rey; y quebrantarán la tierra, y yo no libraré de sus manos.

7 Apacenté pues las ovejas de la matanza, es á saber, los pobres del rebaño. Y me tomé dos cayados; al uno puse por nombre Suavidad, y al otro Ataduras; y apacenté las ovejas.

8 E hice matar tres pastores en un mes, y mi alma se angustió por ellos, y también el alma de ellos me aborreció á mí.

9 Y dije: No os apacentaré; la que muriere, muera; y la que se perdiere, se pierda; y las que quedaren, que cada una coma la carne de su compañera.
