Zechariah 11:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Then the Lord said to me,
    “Take for yourself again the equipment of a foolish shepherd,
¹⁶         because I am about to appoint a shepherd in the land.
            He won’t tend to those who have been removed.
            He won’t seek the young or heal the broken.
            He won’t sustain the one standing.
            Instead, he will devour the flesh of the fat ones, even tearing off their hooves.
¹⁷         Doom, foolish shepherd who forsakes the flock.
            A sword will strike^[a] his arm and his right eye.
            His arm will wither completely;
                his right eye will become blind.”
