Zechariah 10:3-5

Contemporary English Version

³ I, the Lord All-Powerful,
    am fiercely angry
with you leaders,
    and I will punish you.
I care for my people,
    the nation of Judah,
and I will change
this flock of sheep
    into charging war horses.

⁴ From this flock will come leaders
    who will be strong
like cornerstones and tent pegs
    and weapons of war.
⁵ They will join in the fighting,
and together they will trample
    their enemies like mud.
They will fight,
because I, the Lord,
    will be on their side.
And they will crush
    the enemy cavalry.
