Staves (long poles) » Symbolical
And I feed the flock of slaughter, even you, ye afflicted of the flock; and I take to me two staves, the one I have called Pleasantness, and the other I have called Bands, and I feed the flock. And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and my soul is grieved with them, and also their soul hath abhorred me. And I say, 'I do not feed you, the dying, let die; and the cut off, let be cut off; and the remaining ones, let each eat the flesh of its neighbour.' read more.
And I take My staff Pleasantness, and cut it asunder, to make void My covenant that I had made with all the peoples: and it is broken in that day, and know well do the afflicted of the flock who are observing me, that it is a word of Jehovah. And I say unto them: 'If good in your eyes, give my hire, and if not, forbear;' and they weigh out my hire -- thirty silverlings. And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Cast it unto the potter;' the goodly price that I have been prized at by them, and I take the thirty silverlings, and cast them to the house of Jehovah, unto the potter. And I cut asunder my second staff, Bands, to break the unity between Judah and Israel.
