“For behold, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will neither care for the lost, nor seek the young, nor heal the broken, nor sustain the healthy, but he will devour the flesh of the choice sheep and tear off their hooves.”

Context Reading

May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered and his right eye utterly blinded!”
