⁷ So I fed the flock for slaughter, ^[b]in particular ^(A)the poor of the flock. I took for myself two staffs: the one I called ^[c]Beauty, and the other I called ^[d]Bonds; and I fed the flock. ⁸ I ^[e]dismissed the three shepherds ^(B)in one month. My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
