2For the ateraphim speak wickedness,

And the bdiviners behold 1false visions

And speak cworthless dreams;

They comfort in vain.

Therefore the people journey like dsheep;

They are afflicted because there is no shepherd.

3“My aanger burns against the shepherds,

And I will visit punishment upon the 1male goats;

For Yahweh of hosts has bvisited His flock, the house of Judah,

And will make them like His splendid horse in battle.

Household gods give worthless advice,

fortune-tellers predict only lies,

and interpreters of dreams pronounce

falsehoods that give no comfort.

So my people are wandering like lost sheep;

they are attacked because they have no shepherd.

“My anger burns against your shepherds,

and I will punish these leaders.

For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has arrived

to look after Judah, his flock.

He will make them strong and glorious,

like a proud warhorse in battle.

KJV 1900King James Version

For the idols have spoken vanity,

And the diviners have seen a lie,

And have told false dreams;

They comfort in vain:

Therefore they went their way as a flock,

They were troubled, because there was no shepherd.

Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds,

And I punished the goats:

For the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah,

And hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
