Zechariah, Chapter 10

¹ Ask rain from the LORD at the time of the spring rain—
The LORD who makes the^astorm clouds;
And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man.
² For the teraphim speak^biniquity,
And the diviners see^clying visions
And tell false dreams;
They comfort in vain.
Therefore the people^dwander like sheep,
They are afflicted, because there is no shepherd.
³ “My anger is kindled against the shepherds,
And I will punish the^emale goats;
For the LORD of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah,
And will make them like His majestic horse in battle.
⁴ “From^fthem will come the cornerstone,
From^gthem the tent peg,
From^hthem the bow of battle,
Fromⁱthem every^jruler, all of them together.
⁵ “They will be as mighty men,
Treading down the enemy in the mire of the streets in battle;
And they will fight, for the LORD will be with them;
And the riders on horses will be put to shame.
⁶ “I will strengthen the house of Judah,
And I will save the house of Joseph,
And I will^kbring them back,
Because I have had compassion on them;
And they will be as though I had not rejected them,
For I am the LORD their God and I will answer them.
⁷ “Ephraim will be like a mighty man,
And their heart will be glad as if from wine;
Indeed, their children will see it and be glad,
^lTheir heart will rejoice in the LORD.
⁸ “I will whistle for them to gather them together,
For I have redeemed them;
And they will be as numerous as they^mwere before.
⁹ “When Iⁿscatter them among the peoples,
They will remember Me in far countries,
And they with their children will live and come back.
¹⁰ “I will bring them back from the land of Egypt
And gather them from Assyria;
And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon
^oUntil no room can be found for them.
¹¹ “And they will pass through the sea of distress
And He will strike the waves in the sea,
So that all the depths of the Nile will dry up;
And the pride of Assyria will be brought down
And the scepter of Egypt will depart.
¹² “And I will strengthen them in the LORD,
And in His name they will walk,” declares the LORD.
