They shall strike the land, and I will not deliver them out of their hand. 7 So I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock.

My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me. 9 Then I said, I will not feed you. Let what dies die, and what is to be cut off, let it be cut off. Let those that remain eat each other's flesh. 10 I took my staff, Beauty, and cut it in two, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. 11 It was broken on that day, and so the poor of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the LORD. 12 I said to them, If it seems good to you, give me my wages, and if not, refrain. So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of silver. 13 The LORD said to me, 'Throw it to the potter—that princely price they set on me.' So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD. 14 Then I cut in two my other staff, Bonds, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. 15 The LORD said to me, Take for yourself the implements of a foolish shepherd. 16 For behold, 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 the broken, nor feed what stands still. But he will eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their hooves in pieces. 17 Woe to the worthless shepherd who leaves the flock! The sword shall be against his arm and against his right eye. His arm shall be completely withered, and his right eye shall be totally blinded.
