3 My anger is kindled against the pastors, and I will visit the he goats, for the Lord of the hosts shall visit his flock, the house of Judah, and shall make them as his horse of honour in the battle.
4 Out of him shall come the corner, out of him the stake, out of him the battle bow, out of him also every oppressor.
