Zechariah 11:16-17
Lexham English Bible

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,[a] 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[b] and tear apart even their hoofs.

17 “Woe, my worthless shepherd
    who deserts the flock![c]
May a sword fall on his arm
    and on his right eye![d]
May his arm wither completely
    and his right eye[e] be utterly blinded!”
