·Idols [Household gods; L Teraphim; Gen. 31:19] ·tell lies [or give worthless counsel];
    fortune-tellers see ·false [lying] visions
and tell about false dreams.
    The comfort they give is ·worth nothing [in vain].
So the people ·are [wander] like lost sheep.
    They are ·abused [oppressed; or in distress], because there is no shepherd.

The Lord says, “·I am angry [My anger burns] at my shepherds,
    and I will punish the ·leaders [L lead goats].
I, the Lord ·All-Powerful [Almighty; of Heaven’s Armies; T of hosts], care
    for my flock, the ·people [L house] of Judah.
    I will make them like my ·proud [majestic] war horses.

From ·Judah [L him] will come the cornerstone,
    and the tent peg,
    the battle bow,
    and every ruler.

Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.

Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
