Israel's Shepherds: Good And Bad
7 I myself fed the slaughter sheep, and poor flock verily; and took unto me two staffs: the one I called 'Loving Meekness,' the other I called 'Woe.' And so I kept the sheep. 8 Three shepherds destroyed I in one month, for I might not away with them, neither had they any delight in me. 9 Then said I, "I will feed you no more! The thing that dieth, let it die: and that will perish, let it perish. And let the remnant eat, every one the flesh of his neighbour."
