²⁹ I know that after I leave, savage wolves^(A) will come in among you and will not spare the flock.^(B)

⁵ This is what the Lord says:

¹² The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away.^(A) Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it.
