Zechariah 11:5
whose buyers slaughter them without remorse. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich!’ Even their own shepherds have no compassion on them.
Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the Lord; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not.
Their buyers slaughter them and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich;’ and their own shepherds don’t pity them.
whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty; and they that sell them say, Blessed be Jehovah, for I am rich; and their own shepherds pity them not.
