Zechariah 11:15-17

Good News Translation

¹⁵ Then the Lord said to me, “Once again act the part of a shepherd, this time a worthless one. ¹⁶ I have put a shepherd in charge of my flock, but he does not help the sheep that are threatened by destruction; nor does he look for the lost, or heal those that are hurt, or feed the healthy. Instead, he eats the meat of the fattest sheep and tears off their hoofs. ¹⁷ That worthless shepherd is doomed! He has abandoned his flock. War will totally destroy his power. His arm will wither, and his right eye will go blind.”
