For the (A)teraphim speak wickedness,
And the (B)diviners behold [a]false visions
And speak (C)worthless dreams;
They comfort in vain.
Therefore the people journey like (D)sheep;
They are afflicted because there is no shepherd.
“My (E)anger burns against the shepherds,
And I will visit punishment upon the [b]male goats;
For Yahweh of hosts has (F)visited His flock, the house of Judah,
And will make them like His splendid horse in battle.
From [c]them will come the (G)cornerstone,
From [d]them the tent peg,
From [e]them the bow of [f](H)battle,
From [g]them every good [h]taskmaster, all of them together.
