13. The Lord then said to me, “Throw to the potter that exorbitant sum at which they valued me!” So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter at the temple of the Lord.
14. Then I cut the second staff “Binders” in two in order to annul the covenant of brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15. Again the Lord said to me, “Take up once more the equipment of a foolish shepherd.
16. Indeed, I am about to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not take heed to the sheep headed to slaughter, will not seek the scattered, and will not heal the injured. Moreover, he will not nourish the one that is healthy but instead will eat the meat of the fat sheep and tear off their hooves.
17. Woe to the worthless shepherdwho abandons the flock!May a sword fall on his arm and his right eye!May his arm wither completely away,and his right eye become completely blind!”
