Zechariah 11 is a chapter that deals with the destruction of Israel and the rejection of the Messiah by the Jews. The prophet talks about pastors who abandon the flock and the breaking of the covenant between God and the people of Israel. Below are five verses related to the topics addressed in Zechariah 11:

Isaiah 53:3: "Disregarded and rejected by men, a man of pain, and experienced in suffering; and as one of whom men hid their face, he was despised, and we did not do it at all." This verse talks about the rejection of the Messiah for the Jews, who did not recognize him as the Son of God.

Jeremiah 23:1: "Woe to the shepherds who destroy and disperse the sheep of my pasture, says the Lord." This verse talks about the pastors' neglect to take care of God's flock, which is similar to the situation described in Zechariah 11.

Ezekiel 34:10: "Thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I am against the shepherds; from His hands I will require my sheep, and make them no longer feed the sheep, so that they no longer stand themselves; I will deliver my sheep out of your mouth, so that they do not serve their pasture. " This verse also refers to the pastors' neglect to take care of God's flock, and the need for God to intervene to save his sheep.

Psalm 79:1: "O God, the Gentiles entered your inheritance; they contaminated your holy temple; Jerusalem reduced to stones." This psalm talks about the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple of God, which was prophesied in Zechariah 11.

Matthew 21:42: "Jesus said unto them, Never read in Scripture, The stone that the builders rejected, this became the main stone, angular; does it proceed from the Lord and is wonderful to our eyes?" This verse refers to the rejection of the Messiah by the Jewish religious leaders, and its eventual importance as the cornerstone of God's Church.
