Zechariah 10
10:1Ask of the lord for rain according to season, the early and late rain. The lord made a visible display; and the rain of winter he gives to them; to each, pasturage in the field.
10:2For the ones declaring maxims speak troubles, and the clairvoyants false visions; and they speak false dreams. In vain they comfort. On account of this they dry up as sheep, and they were afflicted that there was no healing.
10:3My rage was provoked over the shepherds, and over the lambs I visit]. And the lord God almighty will visit his flock, the house of Judah. And he shall order them as his good-looking horse in battle.
10:4And from him he looked out upon, and from him he ordered a bow in rage, and from him shall come forth every expedition by him.
10:5And they shall be as warriors treading mud in the ways in battle. And they shall deploy, because the lord is with them, and the riders of horses shall be disgraced.
10:6And I will strengthen the house of Judah. And the house of Joseph I will deliver. And I will settle them; for I loved them. And they will be in which manner when I disowned them not. Because I am the lord their God, and I shall take heed of them.
10:7And they will be as warriors to Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as with wine. And their children shall see, and be glad, and their heart shall rejoice over the lord.
10:8I will signify for them, and I will take them in. For I will ransom them, and they shall be multiplied, in so far as they were many.
10:9And I will sow them among peoples, and the ones far off shall remember me. And they shall nourish their children, and they shall return.
10:10And I will turn them from out of the land of Egypt; and from the Assyrians I will take them in; and into the land of Gilead, and into Lebanon I will bring them; and in no way should there be left behind of them not even one.
10:11And they shall go through by the narrow sea, and they shall strike waves in the sea; and all the depths of rivers shall be dried up. And all the insolence of the Assyrians shall be removed; and the staff of Egypt shall be removed.
10:12And I will strengthen them in the lord their God; and in his name they shall boast, says the lord.
