The Lord their God will save them on that day
as the flock of His people;
for they are like jewels in a crown,
sparkling over His land.

My anger burns against the shepherds,
so I will punish the leaders.
For the Lord of Hosts has tended His flock,
the house of Judah;
He will make them like His majestic steed in battle.

Yahweh my God says this: “Shepherd the flock intended for slaughter.

So I shepherded the flock intended for slaughter, the afflicted of the flock. I took two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock.

It was annulled on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the Lord.

Woe to the worthless shepherd
who deserts the flock!
May a sword strike his arm
and his right eye!
May his arm wither away
and his right eye go completely blind!”
