Zechariah 10:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 Because the household gods[a] speak deceit,
and those who practice divination see a lie,
and the dreamers of vanity speak in vain.
Therefore the people wander like sheep;[b]
they are afflicted because there is no shepherd.
3 My anger burns[c] against the shepherds,
and I will punish the leaders,[d]
because Yahweh of hosts watches over his flock,[e]
the house of Judah;
and he will make them like his majestic horse in war.
4 From them[f] the cornerstone will go out,
from them[g] the tent peg,
from them[h] the battle bow,
from them[i] every ruler,
all together.
