[4] Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; [5] 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 [6] 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, of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver [7] 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 and I fed the flock. [8] Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. [9] Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, and that that is to be cut off, and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. [10] 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. [11] 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. [12] 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. [13] 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 [14] Then I cut asunder mine other staff, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. [15] And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. [16] For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, their claws in pieces. [17] Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean and his right eye shall be utterly
