The idols utter deceit
        and diviners see lies.
    They relate false dreams
        and comfort in vain.
    Therefore the people wander like sheep,
        afflicted because there is no shepherd.[a]

My anger burns against the shepherds
        and I will punish the leaders.[b]
    Adonai-Tzva’ot cares for His flock,
        the house of Judah.
    He will make them His valiant steed in battle.
From Judah will come the cornerstone,[c]
        from him the tent peg,
        from him the battle bow
        and from him every leader together.
