8. I fired the three shepherds all in one month. I got angry at the sheep, and they began to hate me.
9. Then I said, “I quit! I will not take care of you! I will let those who want to die, die. I will let those who want to be destroyed, be destroyed, and those who are left will destroy each other.”
10. Then I took the stick named Favor, and I broke it. I did this to show that God’s agreement with his people was broken.
11. So that day the agreement was finished, and those poor sheep watching me knew that this message was from the Lord.
12. Then I said, “If you want to pay me, pay me. If not, don’t!” So they paid me 30 pieces of silver.
