3
My anger burns against the shepherds,
so I will punish the leaders.(a)
For the Lord of Hosts has tended His flock,
the house of Judah;
He will make them like His majestic steed in battle.
4
The cornerstone(A) will come from Judah.(b)
The tent peg(B) will come from them
and also the battle bow(C) and every(c) ruler.
Together
5
they will be like warriors in battle
trampling down the mud of the streets.
They will fight because the Lord is with them,
and they will put horsemen to shame.
6
I will strengthen the house of Judah
and deliver the house of Joseph.(d)
I will restore(e) them
because I have compassion on them,
and they will be
as though I had never rejected them.(D)
For I am Yahweh their God,
and I will answer them.
