John 10:12

Moreover, the hired[noun], also not being shepherd, of{whom} the sheep are_not_being own, is-observing the wolf being-come, and is-letting-off/away the sheep and is-fleeing, and the wolf is-snatching same and is-scattering the sheep.

Garth's Hyper-literal Translation

In The King James Version

But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

In Context

13Moreover, the hired[noun] is-fleeing, that he-is-being [a] hired[noun], and he-is_not_concerning/caring to{same} about of{the sheep}.
