Zechariah 11:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 And it was broken on that day. Then the afflicted[a] of the flock,[b] the ones who were watching me, knew that it was the word of Yahweh. 12 And I said to them, “If it seems right to you,[c] give me my wages, but if not, keep them.”[d] And they weighed out my wages, thirty silver shekels. 13 And Yahweh said to me, “Throw it to the potter,”[e] this noble price[f] at which I was valued by them!” So I took the thirty silver shekels and I threw them to the potter[g] in the house of Yahweh.

New International Version
11 It was revoked on that day, and so the oppressed of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word of the Lord.
12 I told them, “If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it.” So they paid me thirty pieces of silver.(A)
13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the handsome price at which they valued me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver(B) and threw them to the potter at the house of the Lord.(C)
