Verse 16
Zechariah 11:16
American Standard Version
16
For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, who will not visit those that are cut off, neither will seek those that are scattered, nor heal that which is broken, nor feed that which is sound; but he will eat the flesh of the fat [sheep], and will tear their hoofs in pieces.

English Translation
For behold, I am raising a shepherd in the land; the lost ones will not be sought, the young man will not be asked for, the broken ones will not be healed, the standing ones will not be held up, and the flesh of the creation will eat, and their hooves will be torn apart.
