Zechariah 10:3-6

3‘I am angry with the leaders. I will cause them to be sorry. Judah's people are mine,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘I will watch over them. I will make them as strong as horses that are ready for war.

4From Judah's descendants will come a strong leader. He is like a strong stone at the corner of a building. He is like a strong peg in a wall. He is like a bow that is ready to shoot arrows. Every strong ruler will come from Judah's descendants.

5Together they will be like brave soldiers who march through the mud in the streets of their enemies. The Lord is with them and they will fight their enemies. They will pull down the soldiers from their horses.

6I will make Judah's people strong, and I will make Israel's people become free. I will bring them back to me, because I am sorry for them. I am their God, and I will answer them. It will be as if I had never turned away from them.
