Whosepossessorsslaythem, and holdthemselves not guilty: and theythatsellthem say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherdspitythem not.
For I will no morepity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I willdeliver the men every one into his neighbour’shand, and into the hand of his king: and theyshallsmite the land, and out of theirhand I will not deliverthem.
And I willfeed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I tookunto me two staves; the one I calledBeauty, and the other I calledBands; and I fed the flock.
Thensaid I, I will not feed you: thatthatdieth, let it die; and thatthat is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
And the LORDsaidunto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodlypricethat I was prised at of them. And I took the thirtypieces of silver, and castthem to the potter in the house of the LORD.
For, lo, I willraise up a shepherd in the land, whichshall not visitthosethat be cut off, neithershallseek the young one, nor healthatthat is broken, nor feedthatthatstandethstill: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and teartheirclaws in pieces.
Woe to the idolshepherdthatleaveth the flock! the swordshall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be cleandried up, and his right eye shall be utterlydarkened.
