14. Then I broke my second staff called Union, in order to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15. Again Adonai said to me, “Once more take up the equipment of a foolish shepherd!
16. For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for the dying, seek out the young or heal the injured or nourish the healthy. Instead he will eat the meat of the choice sheep, even tearing off their hoofs.”
17. Woe to the worthless shepherd who deserts the flock! May a sword fell his arm and his right eye! May his arm be all withered and his right eye totally blinded!”
