Zechariah 11:15-17
Legacy Standard Bible
15 Then Yahweh said to me, “Take again for yourself the equipment of a [a](A)foolish shepherd. 16 For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will (B)not care for those who face annihilation, seek the young, heal the broken, or sustain the one standing, but will (C)consume the flesh of the fat sheep and tear off their hoofs.
17 (D)Woe to the worthless shepherd
Who forsakes the flock!
A (E)sword will be on his arm
And on his right eye!
His (F)arm will be totally dried up,
And his right eye will be utterly dimmed.”

English Standard Version
15 Then the Lord said to me, “Take once more the equipment of (A)a foolish shepherd. 16 For behold, I am raising up in the land a shepherd (B)who does not care for those being destroyed, or seek the young or heal the maimed or nourish the healthy, but (C)devours the flesh of the fat ones, tearing off even their hoofs.
17 (D)“Woe to my worthless shepherd,
(E)who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm
and (F)his right eye!
Let his arm be wholly withered,
his right eye utterly blinded!”
