Zech 10
1
Ask you of YHWH rain in the time of the latter rain, [even of] YHWH that makes lightnings;
and he will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
2
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 afflicted, because there is no shepherd.
3
Mine anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats; for YHWH
of hosts has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his goodly
horse in the battle.
4
From him shall come forth the corner-stone, from him the nail, from him the battle
bow, from him every ruler together.
5
And they shall be as mighty men, treading down [their enemies] in the mire of the
streets in the battle; and they shall fight, because YHWH is with them; and the riders
on horses shall be confounded.
6
And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and
I will bring them back; for I have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I
had not cast them off: for I am YHWH their God, and I will hear them.
7
And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as
through wine; yea, their children shall see it, and rejoice; their heart shall be
glad in YHWH.
8
I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they shall increase
as they have increased.
9
And I will sow them among the peoples; and they shall remember me in far countries;
and they shall live with their children, and shall return.
10
I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria;
and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and [place] shall not be
found for them.
11
And he will pass through the sea of affliction, and will smite the waves in the sea,
and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought
down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart.
12
And I will strengthen them in YHWH; and they shall walk up and down in his name, says
YHWH.
