11 So it was broken on that day. Thus ^athe poor of the flock, who were watching me, knew that it was the word of the Lord.

12 Then I said to them, “If it is¹ agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain.” So they ^aweighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver.

13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the ^apotter”—that princely price they set on me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord for the potter.

14 Then I cut in two my other staff,¹ Bonds, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

Zechariah 11:13

The Lord - God the Father. Cast it - As being so little, it would hardly purchase any thing but what was the cheapest among them. A goodly price - God upbraids the shepherds of his people, who prized the great Shepherd no higher. Cast them to the potter - Or rather, cast them into the house of the Lord for the potter; all which the Jewish rulers acted over.
