Zechariah 11:12

I said—The prophet here represents the person of Jehovah-Messiah.

If ye think good—literally, "If it be good in your eyes." Glancing at their self-sufficient pride in not deigning to give Him that return which His great love in coming down to them from heaven merited, namely, their love and obedience. "My price"; my reward for pastoral care, both during the whole of Israel's history from the Exodus, and especially the three and a half years of Messiah's ministry. He speaks as their "servant," which He was to them in order to fulfil the Father's will (Philippians 2:7).

if not, forbear—They withheld that which He sought as His only reward, their love; yet He will not force them, but leave His cause with God (Isaiah 49:4-5). Compare the type Jacob cheated of his wages by Laban, but leaving his cause in the hands of God (Genesis 31:41-42).

So . . . thirty pieces of silver—thirty shekels. They not only refused Him His due, but added insult to injury by giving for Him the price of a gored bond-servant (Exodus 21:32; Matthew 26:15). A freeman was rated at twice that sum.
