Zechariah 11:4. Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter;
This is a deep prophecy. It may be interpreted concerning many events, but I think it primarily refers to the departure of the people of Israel from God, and their rejection of Christ.

The teachers of those days were false to their service.
