⁵¹ Is it your opinion that I have come to give peace on earth? I say to you, No, but division:

³⁴ Do not have the thought that I have come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace but a sword.

³⁵ For I have come to put a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law:

³⁶ And a man will be hated by those of his house.

⁷ So I took care of the flock of death, for those who made profit out of the flock; and I took for myself two rods, naming one Beautiful, and the other Bands; and I took care of the flock.

⁸ And in one month I put an end to the three keepers of the flock; for my soul was tired of them, and their souls were disgusted with me.

¹⁰ And I took my rod Beautiful, cutting it in two, so that the Lord's agreement, which he had made with all the peoples, might be broken.

¹¹ And it was broken on that day: and the sheep-traders, who were watching me, were certain that it was the word of the Lord.

¹⁴ Then I took my other rod, the one named Bands, cutting it in two, so that the relation of brothers between Judah and Israel might be broken.

⁴⁹ I came to send a fire on the earth, and it may even now have been lighted.

⁷ For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places;

⁸ But all these things are the first of the troubles.

⁹ Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.

¹⁰ And numbers of people will be turned from the right way, and will give one another up and have hate for one another.
