And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people.
 

11:10 cut it asunder. The Shepherd had made a covenant with the Gentiles (in this verse, “people” is plural) not to harm Israel while they served the true God. This covenant of gracious protection was finally broken after repeated rebellion, climaxed by Israel’s rejection of their Messiah.
