So I said, “I will not pasture you. What is to die, let it die, and what is to be destroyed, let it be destroyed; and let the survivors devour one another’s flesh.”
Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another.
And then I got tired of the sheep and said, “I’ve had it with you—no more shepherding from me. If you die, you die; if you’re attacked, you’re attacked. Whoever survives can eat what’s left.” 10-11 Then I took the staff named Lovely and broke it across my knee, breaking the beautiful covenant I had made with all the peoples. In one stroke, both staff and covenant were broken. The money-hungry owners saw me do it and knew God was behind it.
Then I said, “I will not pasture you. What is to die, [m]let it die, and what is to be annihilated, [n]let it be annihilated; and [o]let those who are left eat one another’s flesh.”
So I said, “I won’t be your shepherd anymore. Let those of you who are dying die. Let those who are passing away pass away. Let those who are left eat one another up.”
and said, “I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish. Let those who are left eat one another’s flesh.”
and said, ‘I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish. Let those who are left eat one another’s flesh.’
So I told them, “I won’t be your shepherd any longer. If you die, you die. If you are killed, you are killed. And let those who remain devour each other!”

لِذَلِكَ قُلْتُ: «لَنْ أَكُونَ لَكُمْ رَاعِياً. مَنْ يَمُتْ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَمُتْ، وَمَنْ يَهْلِكْ فَلْيَهْلِكْ، وَلْيَأْكُلْ مَنْ يَبْقَى مِنْكُمْ لَحْمَ بَعْضِكُمْ بَعْضاً».

Et je dis au troupeau : Je ne vous ferai plus paître. Celle qui doit périr, eh bien qu’elle périsse ! Celle qui doit disparaître, eh bien qu’elle disparaisse ! Quant à celles qui resteront, qu’elles se dévorent entre elles !

Então eu disse: Não serei o pastor de vocês. Morram as que estão morrendo, pereçam as que estão perecendo. E as que sobrarem comam a carne umas das outras.
