For the household Teraphim idols speak wickedness,
    and the diviners envision lies.
They utter false dreams,
    and provide comfort that does not last.
So the people wander about like sheep;
    they are afflicted because there is no shepherd.

My anger burns against the shepherds,
    and I will visit judgment on the male goats.
For the Lord of Hosts will visit His flock, the house of Judah,
    and will make them like His majestic horse in battle.
From him comes the cornerstone,
    and from him the tent peg.
From him comes the bow for battle,
    and from him every ruler goes out, all these together.
