For (A)the household gods (B)utter nonsense,
    and the diviners see lies;
(C)they tell false dreams
    and give empty consolation.
Therefore (D)the people wander like sheep;
    they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd.

(E)“My anger is hot against the shepherds,
    and (F)I will punish the leaders;[a]
for (G)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 (H)the cornerstone,
    from him (I)the tent peg,
from him the battle bow,
    from him every ruler—(J)all of them together.
They shall be like mighty men in battle,
    (K)trampling the foe in the mud of the streets;
they shall fight because the Lord is with them,
    and they shall put to shame (L)the riders on horses.
