Zechariah

Zechariah 10:3–6

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.

6I will strengthen the house of Judah

and save the house of Joseph.

I will restore them because I have compassion on them,

and they will be as though I had not rejected them.

For I am the LORD their God,

and I will answer them.
