Zechariah 10:3–6

“My anger is hot against the shepherds,

and I will punish the leaders;

for the Lord of hosts cares for his flock, the house of Judah,

and will make them like his majestic steed in battle.

From him shall come the cornerstone,

from him the tent peg,

from him the battle bow,

from him every ruler—all of them together.

They shall be like mighty men in battle,

trampling the foe in the mud of the streets;

they shall fight because the Lord is with them,

and they shall put to shame the riders on horses.

“I will strengthen the house of Judah,

and I will save the house of Joseph.

I will bring them back because I have compassion on them,

and they shall be as though I had not rejected them,

for I am the Lord their God and I will answer them.

“My anger burns against the shepherds,

and I will punish the leaders;

for the Lord Almighty will care

for his flock, the people of Judah,

and make them like a proud horse in battle.

From Judah will come the cornerstone,

from him the tent peg,

from him the battle bow,

from him every ruler.

Together they will be like warriors in battle

trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets.

They will fight because the Lord is with them,

and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame.

“I will strengthen Judah

and save the tribes of Joseph.

I will restore them

because I have compassion on them.

They will be as though

I had not rejected them,

for I am the Lord their God

and I will answer them.

My anger burns against the shepherds,

so I will punish the leaders.

For the Lord of Armies has tended his flock,

the house of Judah;

he will make them like his majestic steed in battle.

The cornerstone will come from Judah.

The tent peg will come from them

and also the battle bow and every ruler.

Together they will be like warriors in battle

trampling down the mud of the streets.

They will fight because the Lord is with them,

and they will put horsemen to shame.

I will strengthen the house of Judah

and deliver the house of Joseph.

I will restore them

because I have compassion on them,

and they will be

as though I had never rejected them.

For I am the Lord their God,

and I will answer them.

“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.

From Judah will come the cornerstone,

the tent peg,

the bow for battle,

and all the rulers.

They will be like mighty warriors in battle,

trampling their enemies in the mud under their feet.

Since the Lord is with them as they fight,

they will overthrow even the enemy’s horsemen.

“I will strengthen Judah and save Israel;

I will restore them because of my compassion.

It will be as though I had never rejected them,

for I am the Lord their God, who will hear their cries.

My anger burns against the shepherds,

and I will punish the leaders,

because Yahweh of hosts watches over his flock,

the house of Judah;

and he will make them like his majestic horse in war.

From them the cornerstone will go out,

from them the tent peg,

from them the battle bow,

from them every ruler,

all together.

And they will be like warriors,

trampling in the mud of the streets in the battle.

They will fight, because Yahweh is with them,

and they will put to shame the riders on horses.

And I will strengthen the house of Judah,

and the house of Joseph I will save.

And I will bring them back, because I have compassion on them,

and they will be as if I had not rejected them,

for I am Yahweh their God, and I will answer them.

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.

Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail,

Out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.

And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies

In the mire of the streets in the battle:

And they shall fight, because the Lord is with them,

And the riders on horses shall be confounded.

And I will strengthen the house of Judah,

And I will save the house of Joseph,

And I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them:

And they shall be as though I had not cast them off:

For I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.
