Zechariah 11:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 And the Lord said to me, “Take again for yourself the equipment of a (A)foolish shepherd. 16 For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will (B)not care for the perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or provide for the one who is exhausted, but will (C)devour the flesh of the fat sheep and tear off their hoofs.
17 (D)Woe to the worthless shepherd
Who abandons the flock!
A (E)sword will be on his arm
And on his right eye!
His (F)arm will be totally withered,
And his right eye will be [a]blind.”

American Standard Version
15 And Jehovah said unto me, Take unto thee yet again the instruments of a foolish shepherd. 16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not [a]visit those that are [b]cut off, neither will seek [c]those that are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which [d]is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat sheep, and will tear their hoofs in pieces. 17 Woe to the worthless shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
