Zechariah 11:16-17
New English Translation

16 Indeed, I am about to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not take heed of the sheep headed to slaughter, will not seek the scattered, and will not heal the injured.[a] Moreover, he will not nourish the one that is healthy, but instead will eat the meat of the fat sheep[b] and tear off their hooves.

17 “Woe to the worthless shepherd
who abandons the flock!
May a sword fall on his arm and his right eye!
May his arm wither completely away,
and his right eye become completely blind!”
