Zechariah 11:17 in Context — Zechariah 11

15 L’Éternel me dit: Prends encore l’équipage d’un pasteur insensé!

16 Car voici, je susciterai dans le pays un pasteur qui n’aura pas souci des brebis qui périssent; il n’ira pas à la recherche des plus jeunes, il ne guérira pas les blessées, il ne soignera pas les saines; mais il dévorera la chair des plus grasses, et il déchirera jusqu’aux cornes de leurs pieds.

17 Malheur au pasteur de néant, qui abandonne ses brebis! Que l’épée fonde sur son bras et sur son œil droit! Que son bras se dessèche, Et que son œil droit s’éteigne!
