10. And I took my staff, Pleasantness, and cut it in two, to break the covenant which I had made with all the peoples.
11. So it was broken on that day. And the poor of the flock, who were watching me, knew that it was the word of יהוה.
12. And I said to them, “If it is good in your eyes, give me my wages. And if not, refrain.” So they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver.
13. And יהוה said to me, “Throw it to the potter,” the splendid price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the House of יהוה for the potter.
14. Then I cut in two my other staff, Unity, to break the brotherhood between Yehuḏah and Yisra’ĕl.
15. And יהוה said to me, “Take again the implements of a foolish shepherd.
16. “For look, I am raising up a shepherd in the land who does not visit those straying, nor seek the young, nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand. But he does eat the flesh of the fat and tear off their hooves.
17. “Woe to the worthless shepherd forsaking the flock! Let a sword be upon his arm and upon his right eye! His arm shall wither and his right eye shall be dimmed.”
