So I shepherded the flock intended for slaughter, the oppressed of the flock.[a] I took two staffs, calling one Favor(A) and the other Union, and I shepherded the flock. In one month I got rid of three shepherds. I became impatient with them, and they also detested me. Then I said, “I will no longer shepherd you. Let what is dying die, and let what is perishing perish; let the rest devour each other’s flesh.”
