Thus
saith the
LORD my
God; Feed the
flock of the
slaughter;

Whose
possessors slay them, and hold themselves not
guilty: and they that
sell them
say,
Blessed be the
LORD; for I am
rich: and their own
shepherds pity them not.

For I will no more
pity the
inhabitants of the
land, saith the
LORD: but, lo, I will
deliver the
men every
one into his
neighbour's hand, and into the
hand of his
king: and they shall
smite the
land, and out of their
hand I will not
deliver them.

And I will
feed the
flock of
slaughter, even
you, O
poor of the
flock. And I
took unto me
two staves; the
one I
called Beauty, and the
other I
called Bands; and I
fed the
flock.

Three shepherds also I cut
off in
one month; and my
soul lothed them, and their
soul also
abhorred me.

Then
said I, I will not
feed you: that that
dieth, let it
die; and that that is to be cut
off, let it be cut
off; and let the
rest eat every
one the
flesh of
another.

And I
took my
staff, even
Beauty, and cut it
asunder, that I might
break my
covenant which I had
made with all the
people.

And it was
broken in that
day: and so the
poor of the
flock that
waited upon me
knew that it was the
word of the
LORD.

And I
said unto them, If ye
think good, give me my
price; and if not,
forbear. So they
weighed for my
price thirty pieces of
silver.

And the
LORD said unto me,
Cast it unto the
potter: a
goodly price that I was prised
at of them. And I
took the
thirty pieces of
silver, and
cast them to the
potter in the
house of the
LORD.

Then I cut
asunder mine
other staff, even
Bands, that I might
break the
brotherhood between
Judah and
Israel.
