Bible Verses About Servants: Called hireling

"Human life on earth is like serving in the army; yes, we drudge through our days like a hired worker,

The hired hand, since he isn’t a shepherd and the sheep aren’t his own, sees the wolf coming, abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf drags them off and scatters them.

The hired worker behaves like this because that’s all he is, a hired worker; so it doesn’t matter to him what happens to the sheep.
