And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.

Verse 12 is found in chapter 11 of Zechariah. Breaking the staff Favor symbolizes the annulment of the covenant and the rejection of the protection associated with it. The payment of thirty pieces of silver introduces an image of the shepherd’s contemptuous valuation and deepens the denunciation.

Und ich sprach zu ihnen: Gefällt's euch, so bringet her, wieviel ich gelte; wo nicht, so laßt's anstehen. Und sie wogen dar, wieviel ich galt: dreißig Silberlinge.
Y díjeles: Si os parece bien, dadme mi salario; y si no, dejadlo. Y pesaron para mi salario treinta piezas de plata.
Je leur dis: Si vous le trouvez bon, donnez-moi mon salaire; sinon, ne le donnez pas. Et ils pesèrent pour mon salaire trente sicles d'argent.
Ed io dissi loro: Se così vi piace, datemi il mio premio; se no, rimanetevene. Ed essi mi pesarono trenta sicli d’argento per lo mio premio.
Porque eu lhes disse: Se parece bem aos vossos olhos, dai-me o meu salário e, se não, deixai-o. E pesaram o meu salário, trinta moedas de prata.
我對他們說:「你們若看為美,就給我工價。不然,就罷了!」於是他們秤了三十塊銀錢作為我的工價。
