10:2For the household gods2 have spoken wickedness, the soothsayers have seen a lie, and as for the dreamers, they have disclosed emptiness and give comfort in vain. Therefore the people set out like sheep and become scattered because they have no shepherd.3

A number of English versions transliterate the Hebrew term (cf. , , , ) or simply use the generic term “idols” (so , , ).
