9. Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let them which are left eat every one the flesh of another.
10. And I took my staff Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
11. And it was broken in that day: and thus the poor of the flock that gave heed unto me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
12. And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my hire; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my hire thirty pieces of silver.
13. And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter, the goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them unto the potter, in the house of the LORD.
14. Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15. And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd.
