Zechariah — Chapter 10
Judah and Joseph will be scattered among the people in far countries—The Lord will hiss for them, gather them, and redeem them.
1
Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the alatter rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
2
For the idols have spoken vanity, and the adiviners have seen a lie, and have told false bdreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no cshepherd.
3
Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the Lord of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle.
4
Out of him came forth athe corner, out of him the bnail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together.
5
¶ And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the Lordis 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 again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and will ahear them.
7
And they ofaEphraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.
8
I will hiss for them, and agather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
9
And I will asow them among the people: and they shall bremember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
10
I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of aAssyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.
