Zechariah 10:2-4
International Standard Version
2 Truly the family idols[a] talk nonsense
and the diviners discern lies,
describing delusional dreams.
Since their comfort is vacuous,
they wander off on their own like sheep,
because there is no shepherd.
3 “Against the shepherds my anger rises—
I am punishing the leaders[b] also,
because the Lord of the Heavenly Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah,
appointing them as his royal war horse for battle.
4 From them arises[c] the cornerstone and tent peg,
from them the battle bow,
from them arise all sorts of oppressive rulers.

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.
