So I (A)pastured the flock doomed to slaughter, [a]therefore also the (B)afflicted of the flock. And I took for myself two (C)staffs: the one I called [b](D)Favor, and the other I called (E)Union; so I pastured the flock. Then I did away with the three shepherds in (F)one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also [c]was tired of me. Then I said, “I will not pasture you. What is to (G)die, [d]let it die, and what is to perish, [e]let it perish; and [f]let those who are left eat one another’s flesh.”
