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.'
10 I took my staff Favor, and cut it apart, that I might break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
11 It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the word of Yahweh.
