Eternal One: My anger burns against these imitation shepherds,
        and I will bring punishment to those goats.

The Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies,
    brings caring to His flock, the people of Judah,
And will make them like His brave royal steed, arrayed for battle.
The people of Judah will supply the leadership:
    the stable cornerstone, the secure tent peg, the powerful battle bow.
Every commander will come from there.
Together they will be like a formidable force of champions in battle,
    trampling the enemy in the muck and mire of the roads.
They will fight on because the Eternal fights with them;
    they will bring shame and defeat to riders on horseback.
