    and diviners are misled by false signs.
The dreams they relate are deceitful,
    offering empty consolation.
That is why the people
    wander about like sheep;
they are in distress
    for lack of a shepherd.

    and I will punish the leaders of the flock.
For the Lord of hosts cares for his flock,
    the house of Judah,
    and will make it his royal warhorse.
