    7So I began to shepherd the flock destined for slaughter, the most afflicted of all the flock. Then I took two staffs, calling one“Pleasantness” and the other“Union,” and I tended the flock.

    8Next I eradicated the three shepherds in one month, for I ran out of patience with them and, indeed, they detested me as well.

    9I then said,“I will not shepherd you. What is to die, let it die, and what is to be eradicated, let it be eradicated. As for those who survive, let them eat each other’s flesh!”

    10Then I took my staff“Pleasantness” and cut it in two to annul my covenant that I had made with all the people.

    11So it was annulled that very day, and then the most afflicted of the flock who kept faith with me knew that it was the LORD’s message.

    12Then I said to them,“If it seems good to you, pay me my wages, but if not, forget it.” So they weighed out my payment– thirty pieces of silver.

    13The LORD then said to me,“Throw to the potter that exorbitant sum at which they valued me!” So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the temple of the LORD.
