7. So I shepherded the flock that was for slaughter, even the afflicted of the flock. And I took for myself two staffs. One I called Favor and the other I gave the name Union. So I pastured the flock.
8. I destroyed the three shepherds in the span of one month.For my soul was impatient with them, and their souls detested me.
9. Then I said, “I will not shepherd you. What is to die, let it die. What is to be destroyed, let it be destroyed. Let those who are left devour each other’s flesh.”
10. I took the staff named Favor and cut it into pieces, to break the covenant that I made with all the peoples.
11. So it was broken that day, and the afflicted of the flock were watching me and knew that this was the word of the Lord.
12. Then I said to them, “If this is good in your eyes, then give my wages to me, but if not, then keep it.” They weighed my wages at thirty pieces of silver.
