The Cornerstone of Judah
Zechariah 10:3-5
"3 Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle. 4 Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together. 5 And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the LORD is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded." |
There are some variations of how these verses can be translated. I prefer the translation presented by Ralph L. Smith in Volume 32 of the Word Biblical Commentary, Micah through Malachi:
1. My anger burns against the shepherds;
and I will bring a judgment against the he-goats
because Yahweh of hosts cares for His flock,
the house of Judah,
He will set them like His royal horse
in battle.
4. From them cornerstone,
from them a tent-peg,
from them a battle-bow,
from them every overseer shall come out together.
5. And they shall be like heroes,
trampling in the mud of the streets in battle;
And they shall fight because Yahweh is with them;
And they shall put to shame riders of horses.
