Zech 10
1
Ask ye of the Lord rain in the latter season, and the Lord will make snows, and will
give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
2
For the idols have spoken what was unprofitable, and the diviners have seen a lie,
and the dreamers have spoken vanity: they comforted in vain: therefore they were led
away as a dock: they shall be afflicted, because they have no shepherd.
3
My wrath is kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit upon the buck goats: for
the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock, the house of Juda, and hath made them as
the horse of his glory in the battle.
4
Out of him shall come forth the corner, out of him the pin, out of him the bow of
battle, out of him every exacter together.
5
And they shall be as mighty men, treading under foot the mire of the ways in battle:
and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders of horses shall
be confounded.
6
And I will strengthen the house of Juda, and save the house of Joseph: and I will
bring them back again, because I will have mercy on them: and they shall be as they
were when I had cast them off, for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.
7
And they shall be as the valiant men of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as
through wine: and their children shall see, and shall rejoice, and their heart shall
be joyful in the Lord.
8
I will whistle for them, and I will gather them together, because I have redeemed
them: and I will multiply them as they were multiplied before.
9
And I will sow them among peoples: and from afar they shall remember me: and they
shall live with their children, and shall return.
10
And I will bring them back out of the land of Egypt, and will gather them from among
the Assyrians: and will bring them to the land of Galaad, and Libanus, and place shall
not be found for them.
11
And he shall pass over the strait of the sea, and shall strike the waves in the sea,
and all the depths of the river shall be confounded, and the pride of Assyria shall
be humbled, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart.
12
I will strengthen them in the Lord, and they shall walk in his name, saith the Lord.
