9. Then I said, "I won’t shepherd you.Let the dying die,and let what is to be removed be removed.Let those who are left devour the flesh of their neighbor."
10. Then I took the staff Delight,and I chopped it up in order to break my covenant that I had made with all the peoples.
11. It was broken on that day.As a result, the afflicted of the flock knew that it was the Lord’s word.
