KJV ORIGINAL
Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Leaders who bail on their people will lose the very abilities they need to lead.
