⁷ So I fed the flock of slaughter, verily ^[a]the poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called ^[b]Beauty, and the other I called ^[c]Bands; and I fed the flock. ⁸ And I cut off the three shepherds in one month; for my soul was weary of them, and their soul also loathed me. ⁹ Then said I, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and ^[d]that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let them that are left eat every one the flesh of another.
