Zechariah 10:2-4

New International Reader's Version

²Other gods tell lies.
    Those who practice magic
    see visions that aren’t true.
They tell dreams that fool people.
    They give comfort that doesn’t do any good.
So the people wander around like sheep.
    They are crushed because they don’t have a shepherd.

³The Lord who rules over all says,

“I am very angry with the shepherds.
    I will punish the leaders.
The Lord will take care of his flock.
    They are the people of Judah.
    He will make them like a proud horse in battle.
⁴The most important building stone
    will come from the tribe of Judah.
    The tent stake will also come from it.
And the bow that is used in battle will come from it.
    In fact, every ruler will come from it.
