I came to throw fire on the earth, and what will I if it is already kindled.

And I fed the flock of slaughter, the truly poor of the flock. And I took two staffs for Myself: the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bonds. And I fed the flock.

I also cut off three shepherds in one month. And My soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred Me.

And I took My staff, Beauty, and chopped it in two, that I might break My covenant which I had made with all the peoples.

And it was broken in that day, and so the poor of the flock who were watching Me knew that it was the Word of Jehovah.

Then I chopped in two My second staff, Bonds, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.

and a man's enemies will be those of his own household.

For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

Then they will deliver you up to affliction and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.
