For the teraphim° have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.

Zechariah 10:2 teraphim were household idols that may have been associated with inheritance rights to the household property.

For the idols H8655 have spoken H1696 (8765) vanity H205, and the diviners H7080 (8802) have seen H2372 (8804) a lie H8267, and have told H1696 (8762) false H7723 dreams H2472; they comfort H5162 (8762) in vain H1892: therefore they went H5265 (8804) their way as a flock H6629, they were troubled H6031 (8799), because [there was] no shepherd H7462 (8802).

Because the teraphim did speak iniquity, And the diviners have seen a falsehood, And dreams of the vanity they speak, With vanity they give comfort, Therefore they have journeyed as a flock, They are afflicted, for there is no shepherd.

Malachi 3:14 (100.00%)

You have said, ‘It is vain to serve God,’ and ‘What profit is it that we have followed his instructions and that we have walked mournfully before Yahweh of Armies?

Ye have said H559 (8804), It [is] vain H7723 to serve H5647 (8800) God H430: and what profit H1215 [is it] that we have kept H8104 (8804) his ordinance H4931, and that we have walked H1980 (8804) mournfully H6941 before H6440 the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635?

Ye have said, ‘A vain thing to serve God! And what gain when we kept His charge? And when we have gone in black, Because of Jehovah of Hosts?
