Zechariah

Zechariah 10:3–5

³“My anger burns against the shepherds,

and I will punish the leaders.^a

For the LORD of Hosts attends to His flock,

the house of Judah;

He will make them

like His royal steed in battle.

⁴The cornerstone will come from Judah,

the tent peg from him,

as well as the battle bow

and every ruler together.

⁵They will be like mighty men in battle,

trampling the enemy in the mire of the streets.

They will fight because the LORD is with them,

and they will put the horsemen to shame.
