In Context

7 So I fed the flock of slaughter, especially the oppressed of the flock. I took for myself two staffs. The one I called |Favor,| and the other I called |Union,| and I fed the flock.

8 I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me.

9 Then I said, |I will not feed you. That which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let those who are left eat each other's flesh.|

10 I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.

11 It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the word of Yahweh.

12 I said to them, |If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.| So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
