Wail, O cypress-tree, for the cedar is fallen; because the glorious ones are spoiled; wail, O you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest is come down.

Hark! the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is spoiled; Hark! the roaring of young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are spoiled.

Thus said IAUA my God: 'Feed the flock of slaughter;

For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, says IAUA; but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbor's hand, and into the hand of his king; and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.'

So I fed the flock of slaughter, verily the poor of the flock. I took to me two staves; the one I called Graciousness, and the other I called Binders; and I fed the flock.

I cut off the three shepherds in one month; 'for My soul became impatient of them, and their soul also loathed Me.'

Then said I: 'I will not feed you; that which dies, let it die; and 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.'

I said to them: 'If you think good, give me my hire; and if not, forbear.' So they weighed for my hire thirty pieces of silver.

IAUA said to me: 'Cast it into the treasury, the goodly price that I was prized at of them.' I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them into the treasury, in the house of IAUA.

Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Binders, that the brotherhood between Judah and Israel might be broken.

For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not think of those that are cut off, neither will seek those that are young, nor heal that which is broken; neither will he feed that which stands still, but he will eat the flesh of the fat, and will break their hoofs in pieces.'
