Zechariah 10:2-4
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
2 For the teraphim (household idols) have spoken vanity (emptiness, falsity, and futility) and the diviners have seen a lie and the dreamers have told false dreams; they comfort in vain. Therefore the people go their way like sheep; they are afflicted and hurt because there is no shepherd.
3 My anger is kindled against the shepherds [who are not true shepherds] and I will punish the goat leaders, for the Lord of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as His beautiful and majestic horse in the battle.(A)
4 Out of him [Judah] shall come forth the [a]Cornerstone, out of him the tent peg, out of him the battle bow; every ruler shall proceed from him.(B)

New International Version
2 The idols(A) speak deceitfully,
diviners(B) see visions that lie;
they tell dreams(C) that are false,
they give comfort in vain.(D)
Therefore the people wander like sheep
oppressed for lack of a shepherd.(E)
3 “My anger burns against the shepherds,
and I will punish the leaders;(F)
for the Lord Almighty will care
for his flock, the people of Judah,
and make them like a proud horse in battle.(G)
4 From Judah will come the cornerstone,(H)
from him the tent peg,(I)
from him the battle bow,(J)
from him every ruler.
