11

So it was broken on that day, and thus the afflicted of the flock who were watching me realized that it was the word of the LORD.

12

I said to them, "If it is good in your sight, give me my wages; but if not, never mind!" So they weighed out thirty shekels of silver as my wages.

13

Then the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter, that magnificent price at which I was valued by them." So I took the thirty shekels of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

14

Then I cut in pieces my second staff Union, to break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

15

The LORD said to me, "Take again for yourself 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 perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or sustain the one standing, but will devour the flesh of the fat sheep and tear off their hoofs.

17

"Woe to the worthless shepherd Who leaves the flock! A sword will be on his arm And on his right eye! His arm will be totally withered And his right eye will be blind."
