24 The thing frightful to the wicked one—that is what will come to him;+ but the desire of the righteous ones will be granted.+

2 For the teraphim+ themselves have spoken what is uncanny;* and the practicers of divination, for their part, have visioned falsehood,+ and valueless dreams are what they keep speaking, and in vain they try to comfort.+ That is why they will certainly depart like a flock;+ they will become afflicted, because there is no shepherd.+

7 “O sword, awake against my shepherd,+ even against the able-bodied man who is my associate,”+ is the utterance of Jehovah of armies. “Strike the shepherd,+ and let those of the flock be scattered;+ and I shall certainly turn my hand back upon those who are insignificant.”*+

36 On seeing the crowds he felt pity+ for them, because they were skinned* and thrown about like sheep without a shepherd.+
