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 Lord’s word.
