Zechariah 10:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible
2 People ask idols for help,
but the idols do not speak true words.
Some people explain what a dream means.
But they do not speak true words.
The help that they give is not good.
So the people move from place to place like sheep.
They are not safe. They have no leaders.
3 ‘I am angry with the leaders.
I will cause them to be sorry.
Judah's people are mine,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘I will watch over them.
I will make them as strong as horses that are ready for war.
4 From Judah's descendants will come a strong leader.
He is like a strong stone at the corner of a building.
He is like a strong peg in a wall.
He is like a bow that is ready to shoot arrows.
Every strong ruler will come from Judah's descendants.

Zechariah 10:2-4
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.
