38:011:008 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
38:011:009 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.
38:011:010 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.
38:011:011 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.
38:011:012 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.
38:011:013 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.
38:011:014 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might
break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
38:011:015 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments
of a foolish shepherd.
38:011:016 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces.
38:011:017 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 dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
