Zechariah 10:2-4
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
2 For the teraphim[a] have spoken nonsense,(A)
the diviners have seen false visions;
Deceitful dreams they have told,
empty comfort they have offered.
This is why they wandered like sheep,
wretched, for they have no shepherd.(B)
3 My wrath is kindled against the shepherds,[b]
and I will punish the leaders.
For the Lord of hosts attends to the flock, the house of Judah,
and will make them like a splendid horse in battle.
4 From them will come the tower,
from them the tent peg,
from them the bow of war,
from them every officer.

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)

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)

from him the tent peg,(I)
from him the battle bow,(J)
from him every ruler.
