Zechariah 11:15-17
New Living Translation
15 Then the Lord said to me, “Go again and play the part of a worthless shepherd. 16 This illustrates how I will give this nation a shepherd who will not care for those who are dying, nor look after the young, nor heal the injured, nor feed the healthy. Instead, this shepherd will eat the meat of the fattest sheep and tear off their hooves.
17 “What sorrow awaits this worthless shepherd
who abandons the flock!
The sword will cut his arm
and pierce his right eye.
His arm will become useless,
and his right eye completely blind.”
Zechariah 11:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 And Yahweh said to me, “Take again the implements[a] of a foolish shepherd. 16 For look, I am raising up a shepherd in the land who will not attend to the ones that are perishing; he will not seek the young man,[b] he will not heal the ones that are crushed and he will not sustain the healthy ones; he will devour the flesh of the fattened ones[c] and tear apart even their hoofs.
17 “Woe, my worthless shepherd
who deserts the flock![d]
May a sword fall on his arm
and on his right eye![e]
May his arm wither completely
and his right eye[f] be utterly blinded!”
