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.
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.'
