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.”

International Standard Version
God’s Curse on the Worthless Shepherd
15 The Lord told me, “Pick up the tools of a worthless shepherd again, 16 for I am now raising up a shepherd in the land who will neither search for the lost, nor care for the young, nor fix the broken, nor sustain the healthy. Instead, he will devour the meat of the best of the sheep, tearing off their hoofs.”
17 “Woe to the worthless shepherd,
who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm
and his right eye.
May his arm wither
and his right eye be completely blind.”
