Woe to the worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! May a sword fall on his arm and his right eye! May his arm wither completely away, and his right eye become completely blind!
Your dead will live; their corpses will rise. You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy, for your dew is as the dew of the dawn, and the land will give birth to the departed spirits. Come, my people, enter into your rooms [khedar, or wedding chamber], and close your doors behind you; hide for a little while until indignation runs its course. For behold, the LORD is about to come out from His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; and the earth will reveal her bloodshed, and will no longer cover her slain.
And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will cease sacrifice and grain offering; and on the verge of abominations is he who causes horror, until a decreed complete destruction is poured out on the one who devastates.
