Verse 2
Zechariah 10:2
Free Bible Version
2
Household idols give worthless answers, fortune-tellers tell lies, while interpreters of dreams just make things up and offer only false hope. As a result, people wander aimlessly like sheep, suffering because there is no shepherd.

English Translation
For the idols spoke falsehood and the diviners saw deception, and the dreams are vanity; they comfort in vain. Therefore, they shall wander like sheep; they shall be troubled because there is no shepherd.
