Zechariah 11:11
And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD. And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
The object broken on that day was the staff named Beauty, and its breaking was the breaking of God's covenant with the people. The poor of the flock who waited upon the Lord understood the event as it happened, recognizing in that breaking the fulfillment of the word of the Lord. The surrounding shepherd picture portrays rulers charged with the flock who neglected their trust, failing to care for the needy and helpless among them.
