15 The Lord also said to me, “Take the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16 I am about to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those who are perishing, and he will not seek the lostA or heal the broken. He will not sustain the healthy,B but he will devour the flesh of the fat sheepa and tear off their hooves.

17 Woe to the worthless shepherd

who deserts the flock!b

May a sword strikeC his arm

and his right eye!

May his arm wither away

and his right eye go completely blind!”
