The Lord says, “I am angry at my shepherds.
    I will punish the leaders.
I, the Lord of heaven’s armies, will care
    for my flock, which is the people of Judah.
    I will make them like my proud war horses.
From Judah will come the cornerstone
    and the tent peg.
    From him will come the battle bow.
    From him will come every ruler.
They will be like soldiers
    marching to battle through muddy streets.
The Lord is with them.
    So they will fight and defeat the horsemen.
