5Whose buyers slay them, and are not guilty, And their sellers say, Blessed [is] Jehovah, And I am rich, And their shepherds have no pity on them.
6For I have pity no more on inhabitants of the land, An affirmation of Jehovah, And lo, I am causing man to come forth, Each into the hand of his neighbour, And into the hand of his king, And they have beaten down the land, And I do not deliver out of their hand.`
7And I feed the flock of slaughter, even you, ye afflicted of the flock; and I take to me two staves, the one I have called Pleasantness, and the other I have called Bands, and I feed the flock.
8And I cut off the three shepherds in one month, and my soul is grieved with them, and also their soul hath abhorred me.
9And I say, `I do not feed you, the dying, let die; and the cut off, let be cut off; and the remaining ones, let each eat the flesh of its neighbour.`
10And I take My staff Pleasantness, and cut it asunder, to make void My covenant that I had made with all the peoples:
11and it is broken in that day, and know well do the afflicted of the flock who are observing me, that it [is] a word of Jehovah.
