It was broken in that day; and thus the poor of the flock that listened to me knew that it was the LORD’s word. I said to them, “If you think it best, give me my wages; and if not, keep them.” So they weighed for my wages thirty pieces of silver. The LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter—the handsome price that I was valued at by them!” I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them to the potter in the LORD’s house. Then I cut apart my other staff, Union, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.
