New American Standard Bible

¹⁶For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will ^(A)not care for the perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or provide for the one who is exhausted, but will ^(B)devour the flesh of the fat sheep and tear off their hoofs.

¹⁷^(C)Woe to the worthless shepherd
Who abandons the flock!
A ^(D)sword will be on his arm
And on his right eye!
His ^(E)arm will be totally withered,
And his right eye will be ^[a]blind.”
