² For the idols speak falsehood,
and the diviners^(A) see illusions;
they relate empty dreams
and offer empty comfort.
Therefore the people wander like sheep;
they suffer affliction because there is no shepherd.
³ My anger burns against the shepherds,
so I will punish the leaders.^[a]
For the Lord of Armies has tended his flock,
the house of Judah;
he will make them like his majestic steed in battle.
