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.
