And I took for myself two ^(C)staffs: the one I called ^[b](D)Favor, and the other I called ^[c](E)Union; so I shepherded the flock. ⁸ Then I annihilated the three shepherds in ^(F)one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also ^[d]was weary of me. ⁹ Then I said, “I will not shepherd you. What is to ^(G)die, ^[e]let it die, and what is to be annihilated, ^[f]let it be annihilated; and ^[g]let those who remain consume one another’s flesh.”
