11. It was broken on that day. The afflicted of the flock that were watching me knew that this was the word of Adonai.”
12. Then I said to them, “If it seems good to you, pay me my wages, but if not, don’t bother!” So they weighed out my wages—30 pieces of silver.
13. Then Adonai said to me, “Throw it to the potter—that exorbitant price at which they valued Me!” So I took the 30 pieces of silver and threw them into the House of Adonai, to the potter.
14. Then I broke my second staff called Union, in order to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
15. Again Adonai said to me, “Once more take up the equipment of a foolish shepherd!
16. For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for the dying, seek out the young or heal the injured or nourish the healthy. Instead he will eat the meat of the choice sheep, even tearing off their hoofs.”
17. Woe to the worthless shepherd who deserts the flock! May a sword fell his arm and his right eye! May his arm be all withered and his right eye totally blinded!”
