Zechariah 11

Zechariah prophesies the destruction of Lebanon's cedars, Bashan's oaks, and Jordan's thicket, symbolizing judgment on corrupt leaders (רֹעִים, rō‘îm); YHWH commands him to shepherd a flock doomed for slaughter, highlighting failed shepherds who exploit the people[1][2][3]. He breaks staff **Favor** (annulling covenant with peoples) and **Union** (dissolving brotherhood between Judah and Israel) after rejection for **thirty pieces of silver** thrown to the potter, foreshadowing betrayal; then enacts a worthless shepherd deserving woe, with arm withered and right eye blinded[1][3][4].
