“My (A)anger is kindled against the shepherds,
And I will punish the [a]male goats;
For the Lord of hosts has (B)visited His flock, the house of Judah,
And will make them like His majestic horse in battle.
“From [b]them will come the (C)cornerstone,
From [c]them the tent peg,
From [d]them the bow of (D)battle,
From [e]them every [f]ruler, all of them together.
“They will be as mighty men,
(E)Treading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle;
And they will fight, for the Lord will be with them;
And the (F)riders on horses will be put to shame.
