8 I1 dismissed the three shepherds ain one month. My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
9 Then I said, “I will not feed you. aLet what is dying die, and what is perishing perish. Let those that are left eat each other’s flesh.”
10 And I took my staff,1 Beauty, and cut it in two, that I might break the covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
11 So it was broken on that day. Thus athe poor of the flock, who were watching me, knew that it was the word of the Lord.
12 Then I said to them, “If it is1 agreeable to you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain.” So they aweighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
13 And the Lord said to me, “Throw it to the apotter”—that princely price they set on me. So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the Lord for the potter.
14 Then I cut in two my other staff,1 Bonds, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15 And the Lord said to me, a“Next, take for yourself the implements of a foolish shepherd.
16 For indeed I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those who are cut off, nor seek the young, nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand. But he will eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in apieces.
