I also cut off three shepherds in one month; and my soul was in anguish for them, and their soul also abhorred me. Then I said, I will not feed you any longer; the one that dies, let it die; and the one that is to be lost, let it be lost; and let the rest eat each one the flesh of another. read more.
And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples. And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock that look unto me knew that it was the word of the LORD. And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my wages; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the treasury: a goodly price that I was appraised at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them in the house of the LORD unto the treasury. Then I cut asunder my other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
