Zechariah 10:3-5

New International Reader's Version

“I am very angry with the shepherds.
    I will punish the leaders.
The Lord will take care of his flock.
    They are the people of Judah.
    He will make them like a proud horse in battle.
⁴ The most important building stone
    will come from the tribe of Judah.
    The tent stake will also come from it.
And the bow that is used in battle will come from it.
    In fact, every ruler will come from it.
⁵ Together they will be like warriors in battle.
    They will stomp their enemies
    into the mud of the streets.
The Lord will be with them.
    So they will fight against the horsemen
    and put them to shame.
