3 A voice of the wailing of the shepherds! For their glory is destroyed: a voice of the roaring of young lions! For the pride of the Jordan is ruined.
4 Thus says Yahweh my God: 'Feed the flock of slaughter.
5 Their buyers slaughter them, and go unpunished. Those who sell them say, 'Blessed be Yahweh, for I am rich;' and their own shepherds don't pity them.
6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,' says Yahweh; 'but, behold, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.'
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.
