For the teraphim H8655 speak H1696 wickedness H205,
And the diviners H7080 behold H2372 [fn]false H8267 visions H8267
And speak H1696 worthless H7723 dreams H2472;
They comfort H5162 in H1892 vain H1892.
Therefore H5921 H3651 the people journey H5265 like H3644 sheep H6629;
They are H6031 afflicted H6031 because H3588 there H369 is H369 no H369 shepherd H7462.
“My anger H639 burns H2734 against H5921 the shepherds H7462,
And I will visit H6485 punishment upon the [fn]male H6260 goats H6260;
For Yahweh H3068 of hosts H6635 has visited H6485 His flock H5739, the house H1004 of Judah H3063,
And will make H7760 them like His splendid H1935 horse H5483 in battle H4421.
“I will make the house H1004 of Judah H3063 mighty H1396,
And I will save H3467 the house H1004 of Joseph H3130,
And I will [fn]cause H7725 them to return H7725,
Because H3588 I have H7355 had compassion H7355 on H7355 them;
And they will be as though H834 I had not rejected H2186 them,
For I am Yahweh H3068 their God H430, and I will answer H6030 them.
