In context

7So I pastured the flock marked for slaughter, especially the afflicted of the flock. Then I took for myself two staffs, calling one Favor and the other Union, and I pastured the flock.

8And in one month I dismissed three shepherds. My soul grew impatient with the flock, and their souls also detested me.

9Then I said, “I will no longer shepherd you. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish; and let those who remain devour one another’s flesh.”

10Next I took my staff called Favor and cut it in two, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations.

11It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew that it was the word of the LORD.
